Are you a single nonimmigrant¹ with a US degree or its equivalent? You can be in a relationship with your own United States corporation² to petition for immediately available and unlimited H-1B cap exempt employment authorization. ¹ Sole Incorporator, Sole Director, and Sole Employee of a Delaware Charitable Nonstock Corporation like OPEN RESEARCH LABS, INC. (formerly Y Combinator Research, Inc.), the precursor to OPENAI, INC. ² 8 CFR §214.2(h)(4)(ii) defines United States employer. Established tenets of corporate law, as well as cases such as Matter of Aphrodite,³ state that a corporation has a separate legal identity from its owner. As such, a corporation, even if it is owned and operated by a single person, may hire that same individual and the parties will be in an employer-employee relationship (PM-602-0114). ³ The Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) conducts administrative review of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers’ decisions regarding immigration benefit requests in order to promote consistency and accuracy in the interpretation of immigration law and policy. The AAO finds in this matter that the petitioning corporation is a separate and distinct legal entity from its owners or stockholders. See Matter of M—, 8 I&N Dec. 24, 50 (BIA 1958, AG 1958); Matter of Aphrodite Investments Limited, 17 I&N Dec. 530 (Comm. 1980); and Matter of Tessel, 17 I&N Dec. 631 (Act. Assoc. Comm. 1980). As such, a corporation, even if it is owned and operated by a single person, may hire that person, and the parties will be in an employer-employee relationship.⁴ The beneficiary's relationship to the petitioner is not a proper basis for denying the petition. ⁴ See 8 CFR §214.2(h)(4)(ii)(3) and DHS Policy Memorandum PM-602-0114, Dated June 17, 2020. The adjudicating USCIS officer should consider whether the petitioner has established that it MEETS AT LEAST ONE of the “hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the work of” factors with respect to the beneficiary. #unshackled #immigration #USA #f1 #f1student #f1students #opt #stemopt #h1b #visa #status #entrepreneurship #nonimmigrant #documenteddreamer #dreamer #dreamers #h4 #beneficiaryowner #h1blottery #h1bcapexempt #h1bcap #startup #improvethedream #documenteddreamers #ImmigrantFounders #OpenSphere #OpenSphereAI #TechInnovation #YoungEntrepreneursHub #parachuteproject #TheBuildFellowship #lighthousehq #plymouthstreet #visas #o1 #america #usa #yc #ycfounder #ycombinator #winter #winter2025 #w25

USCIS announced it will conduct a Second Random Selection for Regular Cap from previously submitted FY 2025 initial H-1B cap subject registrations. Release Date: 07/30/2024 https://lnkd.in/gWeCiYzm In March, USCIS conducted an initial random selection on properly submitted electronic registrations for the fiscal year 2025 H-1B cap, including for beneficiaries eligible for the advanced degree exemption. Only those petitioners with selected registrations for FY 2025 are eligible to file H-1B cap-subject petitions during the filing period on their registration selection notice. The initial filing period for those with selected registrations for FY 2025 was from April 1 through June 30, 2024. USCIS recently determined that the agency would need to select additional registrations for unique beneficiaries to reach the FY 2025 regular cap numerical allocation. Soon, USCIS will select additional registrations for unique beneficiaries from previously submitted electronic registrations using a random selection process, and USCIS will notify prospective petitioners with selected registrations from this second round of selection that they are eligible to file an H-1B cap-subject petition for the beneficiary named in the applicable selected registration. USCIS will announce when the agency has completed this second process of selections and notifications. USCIS will not be conducting a second selection for the advanced degree exemption (the master’s cap), as enough master’s cap registrations were already selected and sufficient petitions were received based on those registrations as projected to meet the FY 2025 masters cap numerical allocation. The second round of selection for the regular cap will include previously submitted registrations that indicated eligibility for the master’s cap along with those that indicated only eligibility for the regular cap. Those with selected registrations will have their USCIS online accounts updated to include a selection notice, which includes details of when and where to file. F-1 OPT and STEM OPT students who incorporated their own US employer as a nonprofit research organization have an additional option. #unshackled #immigration #USA #f1 #opt #h1b #eb1a #visa #status #change #entrepreneurship #layoffs #stemopt #nonimmigrant #documenteddreamer #dreamer #dreamers #h4 #dependent #beneficiaryowner #layoffs #freeresources #students #h1blottery #selected #notselected #startup

I received an email at 2:41 PM (7 hours ago) entitled, ! Important Announcement: Women Who Code Closing https://lnkd.in/gfqzWGcZ I am at a lost for words. I have tears in my eyes. I joined the Women Who Code (SF) Meetup community as an ally back in February 2012 prior to Women Who Code, Inc. becoming a California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation on December 3, 2012, with its address just above a Starbucks café with free wifi and internet access. When WOMEN WHO CODE, INC. dissolves, the business community must be prepared to address the barriers women have to STEM careers, in order to successfully integrate them into the work force (29 USC §2501(a)(4)): https://lnkd.in/gMjaTXHy Based on my volunteer experience with Women Who Code, RailsBridge, HackBright Academy, and others, I created Tech Training For Women [ttfw://], and In-House Mentoring, as projects of WHOMENTORSDOTCOM INC., a 501(c)(3) scientific organization. Women are the demographic majority. The tech industry should reflect that, but, it doesn't. If you are impacted by the closure of Women Who Code, Inc., I welcome a conversation. My corporation's goal is to disrupt the "Most common occupations for women in the labor force" published by the US Department of Labor, Women's Bureau: Registered nurses Elementary and middle school teachers Managers, all other Customer service representatives Secretaries and administrative assistants First-Line supervisors of retail sales workers Accountants and auditors Financial managers Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks Nursing assistants Office clerks, general Receptionists and information clerks Cashiers Human resources workers First-Line supervisors of office and administrative support worke..

USCIS Adopts US DOL Definition of "Science or Art" for Schedule A, Group II Cases comprised of certain occupations for which the DOL has determined there are not sufficient US workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available, and that the employment of these foreign nationals will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed US workers. Schedule A, Group II designation requires a petitioner submit evidence of a beneficiary's exceptional ability in the sciences or arts¹ as demonstrated by widespread acclaim and international recognition from recognized experts in the field (20 CFR §656.15(d)(1)). In addition, the petitioner must satisfy at least two of seven criteria (for example awards, memberships, published material, and contributions) (20 CFR §656.15(d)(1)((i)-(vii)). In addition to verifying widespread acclaim and international recognition, the documentation presented must show that the beneficiary worked for the past year in a position that requires an individual of exceptional ability and that the beneficiary's services are sought for a position that requires an individual of exceptional ability (20 CFR §656.15(d)(1)). As with most filings for an employment-based immigrant that requires a job offer, this petition must include evidence that the prospective United States employer has the ability to pay the proffered wage (8 CFR §204.5(g)(2)). ¹For the purposes of 20 CFR §656.5(b)(l) and 8 CFR §204.5(k)(l), exceptional ability may be shown in the sciences, arts, OR BUSINESS: Matter of K-R-, ID# 4340279 (AAO Oct. 2, 2019). Within 45 days of OCTOBER 30, 2023, for purposes of considering updates to the “Schedule A” list of occupations, 20 CFR §656.5, the Secretary of Labor shall publish a request for information (RFI) to solicit public input, including from industry and worker-advocate communities, identifying AI and other STEM-related occupations, as well as additional occupations across the economy, for which there is an insufficient number of ready, willing, able, and qualified United States workers. The DOL Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is considering revisions to Schedule A of the permanent labor certification process to include occupations in STEM and other non-STEM occupations and invites employers and other interested parties to comment on this Request for Information (RFI). First RFI https://lnkd.in/gtJYYgBv Extended Deadline: Submit Comments by May 13, 2024 https://lnkd.in/gNsQFS-x The priority date for a petition supported by a Schedule A designation, or for a petition approved for a classification that does not require a permanent labor certification, is the date the petition is filed with USCIS. #unshackled #immigration #USA #f1 #opt #h1b #eb1a #visa #status #change #entrepreneurship #layoffs #stemopt #nonimmigrant #documenteddreamer #dreamer #dreamers #h4 #dependent #beneficiaryowner #layoffs #freeresources #students #h1blottery #selected #notselected #l1 #l1a #l1b

A petitioner must submit a request for a change of status to H-1B (8 CFR §248.3(a)). A United States employer seeking to classify a nonimmigrant as an H-1B temporary employee must file a petition (8 CFR 214.2(h)(2)(i)(A)). Any noncitizen lawfully admitted to the United States of America (USA) as a nonimmigrant, who is continuing to maintain his or her nonimmigrant status, may apply to have his or her nonimmigrant classification changed to any nonimmigrant classification. 8 CFR 248.1(a).

After two (2) pay stubs, an eligible H-1B nonimmigrant is authorized to start full-time concurrent employment with any other petitioner "upon the filing." (8 CFR §214.2(h)(2)(i)(H)). 81 Final Rule (FR) 82398 allows H–1B employers to file successive H–1B portability petitions (often referred to as “bridge petitions”) on behalf of H–1B nonimmigrant workers. An H–1B nonimmigrant worker who has changed employment based on an H–1B portability petition filed on his or her behalf may again change employment based on the filing of a new H–1B portability petition, even if the former H–1B portability petition remains pending. #unshackled #immigration #USA #f1 #opt #h1b #eb1a #visa #status #change #entrepreneurship #layoffs #stemopt #nonimmigrant #documenteddreamer #dreamer #dreamers #h4 #dependent #beneficiaryowner #layoffs #freeresources #students #h1blottery #selected #notselected #l1 #l1a #l1b
