New H-1B Guidance Is Boost for Staffing Firms

THANKS, OBAMA! WE NEED TO REPLACE AMERICAN WORKERS

Staffing firms have experienced difficulty bringing in workers on H-1B visas used for bringing in highly skilled workers such as information technology professionals. However, the situation took a step toward improvement last month, the TechServe Alliance reported.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service issued updated guidance regarding the “Neufeld memo” that clarifies staffing firms are eligible to file H-1B petitions even though they place workers at third-party sites.

The Neufeld memo was originally released in 2010 and had listed “third-party placement/job shop” as an example of a firm that would not qualify as an H-1B visa employer.
