IMPACT – HIGH
What is the change? All employment visa applicants must include a signed checklist and declaration form with their application. The checklist and declaration can be found on the Cox & Kings Global Services (CKGS) website: http://www.in.ckgs.us/.
What does the change mean? The checklist identifies all documents, supporting evidence and steps required of the applicant. The declaration states that the applicant undertakes to abide by the terms of the visa issued and not seek to extend the in-country stay or change its purpose upon arrival.
Background: In May 2014, India appointed Cox & Kings Global Services (CKGS) to replace BLS International as its service provider at Indian posts in the U.S.
BAL Analysis: The new guidelines are to be strictly enforced. Employers may wish to allow for delays in gathering the necessary documents before an employment visa application is submitted.
