New documents show USCIS directed adjudicators to restrict approvals of H-1B petitions without proper legal or regulatory authority.

” is dated July 17, 2017, evidence the documents reflect the Trump administration’s new immigration policies.

As plaintiffs argued in a lawsuit, a February 2018 USCIS memo contradicts a 1998 law. Employers can place H-1B employees in a “nonproductive status” when there is “a lack of work,” according to the law. An employer only needs to keep paying the H-1B employee his or her full salary during such times. In contrast, USCIS insists employers show potentially years of signed contracts and specific work assignments.
