Teleconference - NIV Consular Issues
from Murthy Immigration Podcast Hosted by Murthy Law Firm
The topic of this teleconference in our series for employers and their representatives focused on recent trends involving nonimmigrant visas at U.S. embassies and consulates. The recession, high rate of unemployment in the United States, and new policy guidance from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services have led to increased numbers of 221(g) requests for evidence and denials of H1B visas. As many employees are now planning holiday travel, this was a timely discussion for employers who may be concerned about their employees' consular processing. Attorneys from the Murthy Law Firm discussed basic requirements for consular processing, special concerns for IT consulting companies, and some of the most frequently asked questions about consular processing. Proactive strategies to increase the chances for approvals of nonimmigrant visas, as well as issues affecting family members (including applications for H-4, L-2, and other dependent visas), delays in the issuance of H and L visas relating to the Petition Information Management Service (PIMS) and other complex consular matters were discussed.
