U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services published a policy memorandum Thursday related to H-1B petitions filed for workers who will be employed at third-party worksites. The agency states that significant employer violations may be more likely to occur when petitioners place employees at third-party worksites, so it has issued a guidance to adjudicators. The memo states that when a beneficiary will be placed at one or more third-party worksites, the petitioner will be required to demonstrate that it has a specific and non-speculative qualifying assignment in a specialty occupation for the beneficiary for the full duration requested on the petition.
Key points:
BAL Analysis: The policy memorandum will increase administrative requirements for employers who assign H-1B visa holders to third-party worksites. BAL will provide additional information in the coming days.
