USCIS RUNS RANDOM SELECTION PROCESS FOR H-1Bs
Revised Business Procedures Expedite Processing
FROM 04/13/2007
USCIS PRESS RELEASE
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that on April 12 it conducted the computer-generated random selection process to determine which H-1B petitions, subject to the congressionally mandated H-1B cap for fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008), would continue to final processing. USCIS completed this determination ahead of the preliminary schedule noted on April 3, when it announced it had received enough petitions to meet the cap for FY 2008.
The 123,480 cap-subject petitions received on April 2 and 3 were labeled with unique numerical identifiers and selected randomly by computer. The chosen numerical identifiers were then transmitted to the appropriate service center for further processing.
Applicants who submitted properly filed petitions that are accepted for adjudication will receive a receipt notice. All petitions not chosen will be returned with the fee(s) to the petitioner or their authorized representative. The total process is expected to take approximately four weeks.
For the cases initially filed for premium processing, the 15-day premium processing period begins on April 12, the day petitions were selected through the random selection process.
USCIS will provide additional updates as the processing of FY 2008 H-1B cap cases continues.
H-1B in General: U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields, such as scientists, engineers, or computer programmers. As part of the H-1B program, the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor require U.S. employers to meet specific labor conditions to ensure that American workers are not adversely impacted. The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division safeguards the treatment and compensation of H-1B workers.
USCIS IMPOSES CONDITIONS ON AVAILABILITY OF PREMIUM PROCESSING FOR H-1B PETITIONS SUBJECT TO THE FY 2008 CAP
04/09/2007
VIA USCIS PRESS RELEASE
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that the 15-day premium processing period for petitions subject to the fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008) congressionally mandated H-1B cap will begin after the computer-generated random lottery has selected the petitions for processing. USCIS announced on April 3, 2007 that it had received enough H-1B petitions to meet the FY 2008 cap.
USCIS has determined that the large number of H-1B filings on April 2 and April 3 requires placing conditions on the availability of the premium processing service. The Agency’s ability to provide premium processing service to these petitions is affected by the fact that the cap was reached and exceeded the first day employers could file H-1B petitions.
8 CFR 103.2(f)(2) provides that USCIS may announce via its website any applicable conditions on the availability of the premium processing service for previously designated classifications, petitions or applications. By an interim rule published on May 23, 2006 at 71 FR 29571, USCIS announced that it would post any conditions imposed on the availability of premium processing necessary to ensure that the agency has the needed flexibility to handle situations affecting the ability to provide premium processing service. Like the scenario in the preamble that required imposing conditions on the availability of premium processing, USCIS must exercise its authority under 8 CFR 103.2(f)(2) as a result of current conditions.
On April 2 and 3, USCIS received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. Each piece of mail may contain more than one H-1B petition. It will require substantial resources to open and sort through that volume of mail.
USCIS is prohibited by 8 CFR 214.2(h)(8) from adjudicating any cases that are subject to the FY 2008 cap until it conducts a computer-generated random lottery for cases received on April 2 and April 3. USCIS will reject with their fees all petitions not selected in the random selection process. As directed by the H-1B Visa Reform Act of 2004, the first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of aliens with U.S.-earned masters’ or higher degrees are exempt from any fiscal year cap on available H-1B visas. In the event that USCIS received more than 20,000 petitions that would qualify for this exemption on April 2 and April 3, USCIS must first conduct a computer-generated random lottery to select 20,000 filings for processing. Those filings not selected for processing are subject to the FY 2008 H-1B cap and must be considered in that random selection process as well. Because of that, USCIS must first determine whether the 20,000 cap exemption was met and/or exceeded prior to conducting the computer-generated random lottery and prior to processing any cases subject to the FY 2008 H-1B cap.
USCIS is not suspending or terminating the premium processing service for the H-1B classification. It has simply imposed a condition of availability of the premium processing service for cap-subject H-1B petitions. That condition is that the 15-day premium processing period will begin when the petition is selected for processing through the random selection process.
USCIS UPDATES COUNT OF FY 2008 H-1B CAP FILINGS
APRIL 10, 2007
VIA USCIS
PRESS RELEASE
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced an updated number of filings today as the counting of H-1B petitions received on April 2 and 3 continues. On April 3, USCIS announced that it had received enough petitions to meet the congressionally mandated cap for fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008) and that it would conduct a computer-generated random selection of cap-subject petitions filed on Monday (April 2) and Tuesday (April 3) to determine which cases would be accepted for processing. As of April 9, USCIS has determined that approximately 119,193 of the H-1B petitions received on April 2 and 3 are subject to the FY 2008 congressionally mandated cap.
USCIS received on April 2 and 3 a total of approximately 12,989 cases requesting an exemption from the FY 2008 H-1B cap because they were filed on behalf of aliens holding a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. institution. USCIS can now announce that the cap of 20,000 on these exempt cases remains open and that USCIS will continue to monitor these filings.
USCIS will provide regular updates as the processing of FY 2008 H-1B cap cases continues. H-1B in General: U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in fields, such as scientists, engineers or computer programmers. As part of the H-1B program, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) require U.S. employers to meet specific labor conditions to ensure that American workers are not adversely impacted, while DOL’s Wage and Hour Division safeguards the treatment and compensation of H-1B workers.
USCIS RELEASES PRELIMINARY NUMBER OF FY 2008 H-1B CAP FILINGS
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a preliminary number of filings today as the tallying of H-1B petitions received on April 2 and April 3 continues. On April 3, USCIS announced that it had received enough petitions to meet the congressionally mandated cap for fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008) and that it would conduct a computer-generated random selection of cap-subject petitions filed on Monday (April 2) and Tuesday (April 3) to determine which cases USCIS will accept for processing. During Monday and Tuesday, USCIS received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. This is lower that the original USCIS estimate of 150,000. USCIS based the initial estimate on amounts from manifests received along with the mail. USCIS reached the updated number following a physical count of the mail. Each piece of mail may contain more than one H-1B petition. It will take USCIS a substantial amount of time to open and sort through that volume of mail. As of Wednesday, 28,052 of the cases sorted are H-1B petitions subject to FY 2008 congressionally mandated cap. Four thousand, seven hundred three (4,703) cases are exempt from the FY 2008 H-1B cap as employers filed those petitions for aliens holding a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. institution. USCIS will provide regular updates as the processing of FY 2008 H-1B cap cases continues.
H-1B in General: U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in fields, such as scientists, engineers or computer programmers. As part of the H-1B program, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) require U.S. employers to meet specific labor conditions to ensure that American workers are not adversely impacted, while DOL’s Wage and Hour Division safeguards the treatment and compensation of H-1B workers
USCIS REACHES FY 2008 H-1B CAP (Regular H-1B Cases)
USCIS PRESS RELEASE USCIS REACHES FY 2008 H-1B CAP
April 3, 2007
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it has received enough H-1B petitions to meet the congressionally mandated cap for fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008). USCIS will use a random selection process (described below) for all cap-subject filings received on April 2, 2007 and April 3, 2007. USCIS will reject and return along with filing fee(s) all petitions received on those days that are not randomly selected.
Cap Procedures: In keeping with USCIS regulations, USCIS will use the following process to handle
H-1B petitions subject to the FY 2008 cap:
• USCIS has determined that as of April 2, 2007, it had received enough H-1B petitions to reach the FY 2008 H-1B cap and has set the “final receipt date” as April 2, 2007.
• In keeping with its regulations, USCIS will subject H-1B petitions received on the “final receipt date” and the following day to a computer-generated random selection process.
• USCIS will reject all cap-subject H-1B petitions for FY 2008 received on or after Wednesday, April 4, 2007.
• USCIS will reject and return along with the filing fee(s) all cap-subject H-1B petitions that are not randomly selected.
• Petitioners may re-submit petitions on April 1, 2008 when H-1B visas become available for FY 2009. This is the earliest date for which an employer may file a petition requesting FY 2009 H-1B employment with a start date of October 1, 2008.
As of late Monday afternoon (April 2), USCIS had received approximately 150,000 cap-subject H-1B petitions. USCIS must perform initial data entry for all filings received on April 2 and April 3 prior to conducting the random selection process. In light of the high volume of filings, USCIS will not be able to conduct the random selection for several weeks.
In order to fully utilize its data entry and initial processing capacity, USCIS may choose to distribute filings received at one service center to other service centers for data entry. In the event that USCIS exercises this option, petitioners may receive receipt notices or other correspondence from a service center other than the one to which the H-1B submission was sent. USCIS advises employers that there is no need for concern should that occur and that there is no need to contact USCIS.
Cap-Exempt Petitions: As directed by the H-1B Visa Reform Act of 2004, the first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of aliens with U.S.-earned masters’ or higher degrees are exempt from any fiscal year cap on available H-1B visas. USCIS does not yet know how many of these petitions it has received as those petitions are mixed with the cap-subject cases received on April 2 and 3. USCIS will make a future announcement regarding the “final receipt date” for these petitions.

USCIS Transfers I-485s to NSC and TSC
VIA AILA
AILA’s Service Center Operations (SCOPS) Liaison Committee reports that
in anticipation of the next phase of Bi-Specialization, I-485
applications are being transferred from CSC to NSC, and from VSC to
TSC. This includes cases that are subject to visa retrogression and
security/background checks. Transfer notices will be sent and the USCIS
online system will be updated when a transfer occurs. SCOPS has
confirmed that transferred cases will go into the queue based on
original filing date and not the date of the transfer.
USCIS ANNOUNCES EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION UPDATE FOR TPS
WASHINGTON – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced that certain Hondurans, Nicaraguans and Salvadorans eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) re-registration, who have an application pending with USCIS and are awaiting an employment authorization document (EAD), will receive a letter giving them the opportunity to have an extension sticker affixed to their EAD while USCIS completes their TPS application.
There will NOT be a Federal Register notice automatically extending previously issued work cards further for this group. Applicants should NOT appear at USCIS district offices to seek an extension sticker or an interim EAD. Instead, USCIS will mail eligible TPS re-registrants a letter instructing them about how to proceed to a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) to receive the short-duration extension sticker.
Customers who receive the short-duration extension sticker while USCIS continues processing their applications will receive an extension valid through June 2007 to serve for “I-9 Employment Authorization” purposes. USCIS began mailing letters giving eligible re-registrants the opportunity to appear at an ASC to receive the extension sticker beginning on Monday, March 5, 2007. One can verify an applicant’s continuing status and employment authorization by using the case receipt number and checking USCIS Case Status Online at http://www.uscis.gov, or by calling the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.
USCIS recognizes that the auto-extension of existing EADs expired on Friday, January 5, 2007, for Honduras and Nicaragua and on March 9, 2007 for El Salvador. USCIS is working diligently to produce and mail the letters giving eligible re-registrants the opportunity to appear at an ASC to receive the extension sticker in the coming days in order to minimize any lapse in documentation of employment authorization for those TPS beneficiaries who have not received a renewal EAD.

Direct Mail Program for Submitting Form N-565, Application for
Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document
AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, DHS.
ACTION: Notice.
—————————————–
SUMMARY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is expanding
its Direct Mail Program to provide that filings of Form N-565,
Application for Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document, be
filed at a designated Service Center for processing. Applicants were
previously required to file at a USCIS field office having jurisdiction
over their place of current residence. The Direct Mail Program allows
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to more efficiently process
applications by eliminating duplicative work, maximizing staff
productivity, and introducing better information management tools.
USCIS intends for this Direct Mail process to be implemented on
February 26, 2007 and it will affect all applicants filing Form N-565.
DATES: This notice is effective February 26, 2007.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leah Torino, HQ Adjudications Officer,
Office of Field Operations, or Deanna Garner, Adjudications Officer,
Office of Service Center Operations, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services, Department of Homeland Security, 20 Massachusetts Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20529, Telephone (202) 272-1001 or (202) 272-1688.
Background
What is the Direct Mail program?
Under the Direct Mail program, applicants for certain immigration
benefits mail the designated application or petition directly to a U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Service Center instead of
submitting it to their local USCIS office. The purpose and strategy of
the Direct Mail program have been discussed in detail on previous
rulemakings and Notices (see 59 FR 33903 and 59 FR 33985).
What is Form N-565?
The Form N-565 is an application for replacement naturalization or
citizenship documents. This form is used by individuals seeking a
replacement Naturalization Certificate, Certificate of Citizenship,
Declaration of Intention, or Repatriation Certificate, or to apply for
a special certificate of naturalization as a U.S. citizen to be
recognized by a foreign country.
Interested individuals may find eligibility requirements for Form
N-565 as well as all other applications at the USCIS Web site: http://www.uscis.gov
.
Explanation of Changes
Does this Notice change an alien’s eligibility for issuance of a
replacement naturalization or citizenship document?
No. This Notice only changes the filing location for these
applications. These forms, previously filed at several locations
nationwide, will now be filed under the Direct Mail Program at
specified Service Centers.
What is the new filing location for Form N-565?
Effective February 26, 2007, those applicants residing in Alabama,
Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode
Island, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Virgin Islands, Vermont and West
Virginia, will forward their application to the Texas Service Center
at: DHS/USCIS, Texas Service Center, PO Box 851182, Mesquite, TX 75185-
1182.
Those individuals residing in Alaska, Arizona, California,
Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota,
Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming,
will forward their application to the Nebraska Service Center at: DHS/
USCIS, Nebraska Service Center, PO Box 87565, Lincoln, NE 68501-7565.
What will happen to Form N-565s that are filed at the wrong address?
USCIS will have a 30-day transition period, beginning February 26,
2007, through March 26, 2007, during which USCIS will automatically
forward any locally filed Form N-565 to the correct designated Service
Centers.
After March 26, 2007, all local USCIS offices will no longer accept
any Form N-565 filings. Applications received by
[[Page 3403]]
a local USCIS office after March 26, 2007, or received by an incorrect
designated Service Center, will be returned to the applicant with
accompanying fees for resubmission at the proper filing location.
Which version of the Form N-565 will USCIS accept?
As of February 26, 2007, USCIS will accept Form N-565 (edition date
09/29/06, OMB Control No. 1615-0091). Any prior versions submitted
after March 26, 2007 will be returned to the applicant with
accompanying fees for resubmission of the proper form edition.
Does this Direct Mail Notice affect Form N-565s that have already been
filed with USCIS?
No. Applications received by a local USCIS office prior to February
26, 2007 will remain within the jurisdiction of that office for the
completion of processing. Therefore, it is not necessary for
individuals who previously filed an application at a local USCIS office
to file a new application in connection with this change of procedure.
Paperwork Reduction Act
USCIS will be amending the instructions to the Form N-565 to
reflect the new filing instructions. Accordingly, USCIS will provide
the Office of Management and Budget with a copy of the amended form
through the automated Regulatory Office Combined Information System
(ROCIS). Changing the filing instructions will not have any affect on
the reporting burden hours.
Dated: November 21, 2006.
