Request for Information on Modernizing & Streamlining U.S.Immigrant &
Nonimmigrant visa System
As separate from the specific plans of immigration stakeholder agencies to
implement the President's Immigration Actions of November 20, 2014, the DHS
and DOS are seeking a wide rage of information from the public to streamline
and improve the Nation’s legal immigration system during the next 30 days.
This announcement will be official published in the federal register
tomorrow, 12/30/2014, but our readers can read the advance copy here.
Although it states that it is not directly related to the Obama actions, the
subjects they seek public's inputs are very similar to immigration actions
for legal immigration systems in the Obama;s November 20, 2014 Immigration
Actions announcement as people can see it below:
I. Streamlining the Legal Immigration System
1. What are the most important policy and operational changes that would
streamline and improve the processing of immigrant visas at U.S. Embassies
and Consulates, for both family-sponsored and employment-based immigrant
visas?
2. What are the most important policy and operational changes that would
streamline and improve the processing of nonimmigrant visas at U.S.
Embassies and Consulates, including visitor, student, temporary worker and
other nonimmigrant visas?
3. What are the most important policy and operational changes that would
streamline and improve U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
processing of the following types of immigrant and nonimmigrant visa
petitions?
a. Family-sponsored immigrant visa petitions
b. Employment-based immigrant visa petitions
c. Nonimmigrant petitions
d. Humanitarian petitions and applications (such as U nonimmigrant status
petitions, T nonimmigrant status applications, and VAWA self-petitions)
e. H-1B temporary worker visa petitions, specifically, ways to reduce
burdens on employers and workers engaging in the H-1B petition process,
consistent with protections for U.S. and temporary foreign workers. (Note
that employment authorization for certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-1 B
nonimmigrants was a part of the President’s November 20 announcement
described above, and recommendations regarding that topic should not be
submitted here.)
4. What are the most important policy and operational changes that would
streamline and improve the process of changing from one nonimmigrant status
to another nonimmigrant status?
5. What are the most important policy and operational changes that would
streamline and improve the process of applying for adjustment of status to
that of a lawful permanent resident while in the United States?
6. What are the most important policy and operational changes that would
streamline and improve the inspection of arriving immigrants and
nonimmigrants at U.S. ports of entry?
7. What are the most important policy and operational changes that would
attract the world’s most talented researchers to U.S. universities,
national laboratories, and other research institutions? (Do not submit
responses directly related to the actions announced on November 20,
including the strengthening and extending of the Optional Practical Training
program for foreign students. Separate processes exist to engage regarding
those actions where necessary; see details above.)
8. What are the most important policy and operational changes that would
attract the world’s most talented entrepreneurs who want to start and grow
their business in the United States? (Do not submit responses directly
related to the actions announced on November 20, including the “national
interest waiver” and “significant public benefit” parole pathways for
entrepreneurs. Separate processes exist to engage regarding those actions
where necessary; see details above.)
9. What are the policy or operational changes that could assist in creating
additional immigration opportunities for high-demand professions, such as
physicians?
10. Focusing on the EB-5 immigrant investor visa, what policy or operational
changes would
(a) reduce existing burdens and uncertainties on the part of petitioners,
Regional Centers, and other participants in the program; (b) ensure that
this program is achieving the greatest impact in terms of U.S. job creation,
economic growth, and investment in national priority projects that the
capital markets would not otherwise competitively finance; and (c) enhance
protections against fraud, abuse, and criminal misuse of the program by
petitioners or Regional Centers?
11. How can labor market related requirements for temporary workers be best
tailored to meaningfully protect both U.S. and temporary foreign workers
while achieving operational efficiency for both employers and relevant
Federal agencies?
12. How should relevant occupational categories, descriptors, and/or data,
such as the Department of Labor’s O*NET system http://www.onetonline.org be refined and updated to better align the prevailing wage determination process for visas with the evolving job market?
13. Focusing on the diversity visa program, what are the most important
policy and operational changes that would streamline and improve the
diversity visa process, including enhancing protections against fraud?
14. What other policy and operational changes would most effectively combat
waste, fraud, and abuse in the legal immigration system
II. Ensuring Use of All Immigrant Visa Numbers
15. What are the most important policy and operational changes, if any,
available within the existing statutory framework to ensure that
administrative policies, practices, and systems fully and fairly allocate
all of the immigrant visa numbers that Congress provides for and intends to
be issued each year going forward?
16. What are the most important policy and operational changes, if any,
available within the existing statutory framework to ensure that
