USCIS 和解对 L-1 和 H-1B 签证配偶来说是个好消息
November 23, 2021
There is good news if you are the spouse of an L-1 or H-1B visa holder. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) exacerbated the wait for employment-based green cards by causing long processing delays for work authorization, resulting in the spouses of many high-skilled foreign nationals stopping work and losing their jobs. USCIS brings a new legal settlement that is a relief to many of these spouses, although continued litigation is needed for additional changes.
“Once implemented by the agency, L-2 spouses will no longer have to apply for work authorization and need an EAD (Employment Authorization Document) as proof in order to work in the United States,” said Jesse Bless, director of litigation at the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), in an interview. “For H-4 spouses who have lawful status and merely need to renew their employment authorization, they will now enjoy an automatic extension of their authorization for 180 days after expiration should the agency fail to process their timely-filed applications.”
