Self deportation Form 2019-2023

There is a string of policy memorandums implemented by USCIS that can drastically complicate the H1-B extension process.Most recently, on Sept. 11, 2023. Policy Memorandum 602-0163 went into effect granting USCIS officers the ability to deny a visa or green card application, petition or request (extensions) without issuing a Request for Evidence (RFE).What this means is that immigration officials who have questions about a case or see a technical issue can merely deny instead of giving the applicant or petitioner an opportunity to correct clerical errors or prU.S. employers and attorneys the right to address concerns.Adjudicators have effectively been given almost full discretion to make complex judgments without clear standards nor proper oversight to safeguard against unequal treatment.When taken in conjunction with these four other new policies enacted by the Trump administration, the implications are astonishing and pose major issues to H-1B visa extensions.1. Deference to previously approved visasThe first major hurdle for H-1B visa holders came in the form of Policy Memorandum 602-0151 issued on October 23, 2023. The new memorandum rescinded previous guidance, issued April 23, 2023. that gave deference to prior determinations of eligibility for H-1B visa holders filing for extensions that involved the same parties and underlying facts as the initial petition.In other words, USCIS introduced a series of policies with more stringent standards to apply to previously approved petitions.2. Level 1 wageThe second complication to H-1B petitions is wage levels. More H-1B RFEs now question wage level 1. On March 31, 2023. USCIS issued a policy memorandum that put into question the qualification of u2018computer programmeru2023 as a specialty occupation. Specifically, entry-level positions that require a university degree, but no experience are typically classified under level 1 wage.USCIS has argued that the job duties paying level 1 wages are not complex enough to qualify as specialized but too complex to be considered entry-level because they involve the exercise of judgment and thus require oversight from a wage level 3 supervisor. Quite the predicament.3. Specialty occupationThis brings us to the problem of singular degrees and specialization. USCIS contends that a specialty occupation requires a theoretical and practical application of a body of specialized knowledge and together with at least a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. The issue with the singular degree requirement is that often the coursework of a related degree provides the specialized knowledge needed to perform job duties.For instance, to fill a computer programmer position an applicant does not necessarily require a computer science degree to carry out tasks. Instead, a person with a mathematics or information technology degree can adequately fulfill such job responsibilities.Under the new policy, if an employer determines that an applicant with a mathematics degree is most qualified for a computer programmer position, a technical evaluation must then be submitted with solid documentation demonstrating how the applicantu2019s coursework is directly connected to the job description, adding time and money to an already complex process.4. Right to controlAnother obstacle to the H-1B visa is the u201cright to controlu201d in which USCIS scrutinizes the employer-employee relationship by weighing multiple factors such as who directly supervises the H-1B worker and whether supervision is performed on or off-site. If the work is performed off-site, then the method and frequency of supervision are analyzed. USCIS further evaluates the employer-employee relationship in a myriad of ways including with the use of proprietary information and whether the end work product is directly linked to the H-1B employer's (petitioner's) business is closely examined.To combat such intrusive investigation by USCIS, project management software that indicates oversight and services provided by all constituents should be used. Furthermore, submitting an itinerary or any and all documentation demonstrating the employer-employee relationship with specific job duties that is signed by all parties can help increase the chances of success.Lastly, the implementation of USCIS Policy Memorandum 602-0050.1 beginning October 1, 2023. expands the conditions under which USCIS issues a Notice to Appear (NTA), the document that initiates removal (deportation) proceedings, to include situations where:u201cupon issuance of an unfavorable decision on an application, petition, or benefit request, the alien is not lawfully present in the United States.u201dThe expansion of NTA policy will severely limit, the option to self-deport and could be ruinous for visa applicants by putting them in jeopardy of becoming criminals and being barred from the United States should they become out of status upon denial without warning.This is particularly alarming since RFEs are now issued at the adjudicatoru2019s discretion adding undue pressure on the high-skill immigrant workforce. We may see a drastic increase in flat-out denials (including for extensions) even in cases that would ultimately be approved given the chance to rectify concerns or submit additional evidence.The implication for an H1-B visa holder seeking an extension is this: dot your i's and cross your t's, there is absolutely no room for error. Make sure you have a seasoned law professional with high approval success in your corner.Collectively, these changes could be devastating to American employers and employees who use legal processes to file visa petitions on behalf of the foreign nationals to extend their employment.** Guidance for employment-based petitions and humanitarian applications and petition case types will not be implemented according to the June 28th NTA memo at this time.**

You should not lie in the self-appraisal form. Professors generally do not ask anything from the self appraisal form. But if they find out some extraordinary stuffs in your form, they may ask you about those topics. And if you do not know those topics properly, you will have higher chance of NOT getting selected for the fellowship. So, DO NOT write anything that you are not sure about.If I remember properly, in the form they ask, u201cWhat is your favorite subject?u201d and I mentioned Biology there. Head of the interview panel saw that and asked me about my favorite field of biology. When I told genetics, two professors started asking question from genetics and did not ask anything from any other fields at all (except exactly 2 chemistry questions as I mentioned chemistry as my 2nd favorite subject). But they did not check other answers in self-appraisal form (at least in my presence).Do mention about science camps if you have attended any. Again, do not lie.All the best for interview round. :)
