Joe Biden Administration Is All Set To Cancel H1B Rules Imposed By Trump Govt

Joe Biden Government is willing to reconsider the objections or adverse decisions to foreign workers on visas like H-1B as informed by USCIS on Friday.

On Friday, USCIS announced, “it may reopen and/or reconsider adverse decisions” on Form I-129.

This was due to the three policy memos by the previous Trump govt. that now have been rescinded.

The move is expected to provide relief to a large number of Indian IT professionals as they were having a tough time dealing with the various policies and memorandums on non-immigrant work visas.

Basically, this is a petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker, made based on three rescinded policy memos.

Usually, USCIS uses its discretion to accept a motion to reopen filed more than 30 days after the decision.

In case if it is filed before the end of the validity period requested on the petition or labor condition application, whichever is earlier.

Further, the decision was based on one or more policies in the three rescinded H-1B memoranda.

USCIS issued Policy Memorandum 602-0114 on June 17, 2020.
