US Updates Work Permits and Diversity Visa Rules

The recent developments in immigration in the United States are believed to influence both the foreign workers and students, as well as applicants who have applied for the Diversity Visa (DV). These changes will thus practically cut across issues relating to the practical evaluation, chiseling of eligibility criteria, and the tinkering of work authorization benefits.

Another key difference will be in the EAD, or Employment Authorization Document, rule. The new regulations will make altered auto-extension rules–whereby the applicant needs to be a lot more attentive to the timeframes for applying for a new EAD to remain in a valid job status, for there will be no more third-party sending of an auto-renewal notice; waiting an extra second to file can potentially initiate an employment gap, compromising other job opportunities.

The Diversity Visa Program is among the names in jeopardy of the introduction of complicated and stringent qualifications for the DV applicants; hence, the entire program from the onset was designed to attune towards a greater diversity of immigrant populations. Under the new requirement, however, evidence supporting eligibility to conform to identity requirements must be stronger. Security checks have, thus, become a more central criterion for the selection process.

Foreign businessmen, especially those on H-1Bs or from the L1 class, are facing altered fee structures and more scrutiny during processing.

These occurrences indicate that early application, accurate documentation, and compliant filings play a crucial part in the picture now! Proactive planning is now key to realizing the challenges that could be faced.
