The newly released final rule by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will change the definition of “employer” in the H1B context. According to this new rule, end-clients are required to submit petitions to the USCIS(U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) for H1B workers.
At the same time, the U.S. DOL(Department of Labor) published a bulletin “clarifying guidance” related to this new rule. According to this new rule, end-clients also would be required to submit a labor condition application (LCA) for any H1B worker. The new rule will become into effect on July 14, 2021.
We will keep sharing the more detailed analysis of the DHS rule and the DOL bulletin in the near future.
