As you may recall,
back in September USCIS issued a proposed rule requiring petitioners filing
H-1B cap-subject petitions to pay a $10 registration fee for each petition
submitted to USCIS for the H-1B cap selection process, beginning with the H-1B
fiscal year 2021 cap season.
Today, November 7,
2019 the United States Citizenship and Immigration
Program Development San Francisco (USCIS) published the final
version of this rule which will become effective beginning December 9, 2019,
although the $10 fee will not be required until registrations are submitted
beginning with the fiscal year 2021 H-1B cap selection process.
The final rule is
scheduled to be published in the Federal Register tomorrow November 8th.
An unpublished version of the rule is available here.
Recently our firm
successfully filed an H-3 visa for a Front Office Manager position with a
prestigious hotel chain. Here are a few things we learned along the way to help
you file a successful H-3 visa for a trainee.
Establish frequent communication
with the petitioner
In the case at
issue the employer/petitioner was a major hotel chain with a great
reputation, making it easier to establish the hotel as a distinguished organization
with the capacity to hold such training. Our point of contact
was the Director of Human Resources.
Create a detailed training plan
Creating a
tailored training
plan for the employer/petitioner was by far the most difficult
part of filing this case because the hotel had its own rules and regulations
for approving training sessions. At first, we submitted a very detailed
training
plan for approval to the Hotel Managers. We went through
additional drafts and revisions to have the final training plan approved. Here
were the steps we took to get to the final plan.
At the outset we
established what the employer/petitioner needed to include in the training plan.
In this case, we had to create a training plan from scratch, because
the employer/petitioner was not satisfied with the initial draft. We started by
clarifying the scope of what was being offered to the beneficiary. Our office
went through several rounds of drafts before coming to an agreement of what
should be included in the training plan.
