To
quote a famous Greek Philosopher, "there is one thing that will always
remain constant . . . and that is . . . change". This past week, we
continued to ride the U.S. immigration law roller-coaster! Last week,
one of our Managing Attorneys visited our Office in Indiana and
conducted speaking engagements at academic and non-academic
organizations in the Greater Indianapolis area. It was clear that
attendees were uneasy about Judge Hanen's issuance of a Temporary
Restraining Order (TRO) in response to President Obama's Executive
Actions in November. Many folks continue to be uneasy about the future
viability of President Obama's immigration plan. As we have previously
stated, we remain cautiously optimistic that the Executive Actions will
proceed after the TRO is dissolved. The President continues to vow that
he will use all of the tools available to him (and his Administration)
to make that happen.

Finalizing the H-4 employment eligibility was an important
element of the immigration executive actions President Obama announced
in November 2014. Extending eligibility for employment authorization to
certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants is one of several
initiatives underway to modernize, improve and clarify visa programs to
grow the U.S. economy and create jobs.

reports that the federal judge in Texas who blocked President Barack
Obama's latest executive actions on immigration signaled Tuesday that he
isn't inclined to rush a decision on the Obama Administration's request
to lift the injunction he imposed last week. The Justice Department
warned in its stay application filed on Monday that if the judge does
not act on the stay by the end of business today, it would move to a
higher court.

The H-1B visa program permits a United States employer ("employer") to temporarily employ nonimmigrants to fill specialized jobs in the United States. The Immigration and Nationality Act (the "INA" or the "Act") requires that an employer pay an H-1B worker the italicize of the actual wage or the locally prevailing wage, in order to protect U.S. workers and their wages. Under the Act, an employer seeking to hire a foreign national in a specialty occupation on an H-1B visa must receive permission from the Department of Labor ("DOL") before the alien may obtain an H-1B visa.
