Update on PERM Approvals, Denials and Audit Letters
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has obtained an advance copy of the interim regulation implementing the 20,000 H-1B numbers for fiscal 2005. The regulation has been posted to AILA's InfoNet at document # 05050214: http://www.aila.org/infonet/fileViewer.aspx?docID=18413 (PDF, 395 Kb).
AILA has sent its members an e-mail with the followng information: "Under the regulation, which is slated for publication on May 5, 2005, with an effective date five business days later, only graduates of U.S. master's or higher programs will be eligible. All filings must be to a special address at the Vermont Service Center. A special selection process is delineated if USCIS receives more than 20,000 requests. A mechanism for converting petitions filed for a fiscal 2006 to a fiscal 2005 number is provided."
