CIR Bill: What You Need to Know
http://www.shusterman.com This presentation explains the proposed Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill. Schedule a legal consultation (by Skype, telephone or in person) at https://shusterman.com/intake-secure.html. The Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill passed by the US Senate in 2013 offers a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US, mandatory employment verification, border security, entry and exit systems, and visas for both low and high-skilled workers. Some of the more significant changes proposed in the bill are to the family-based (FB) and employment-based (EB) immigration systems. For both systems, one major step toward eliminating backlogs would be to recapture unused visa numbers from 1992-2013 to be added to the numbers available for fiscal year 2015. The bill would also help foreign-born physicians by making the Conrad 30 program permanent and make both J and F visas dual intent visas, similar to H-1B and L-1 visas. The bill would also increase the number of H-1B visas to 115,000-180,000, depending on demand. Spouses of H-1B visa-holders would now also be able to apply for work permits. The bill would reinstate visa revalidation in the U.S., allowing non-immigrant visa holders to get a new visa without having to return to their home countries.
