01/26/2017: Outline of Presidential Executive Order of Reform of Legal Employment-Based Immigration System

  • As part of his Presidential election pledges, President Trump will act on Obama's immigration reform for foreign workers in the form of regulations. As advised by this reporter, unlike the relief for undocumented immigrants, repeal or change of Obama reforms for foreign worker programs will need ruling making process and the Trump Executive Order for foreign worker programs will order the involved agencies (DHS, DOJ, DOS, DOL) to review and come up with actions in the form of rule-making process that can protect American workers job markets and limiting employment-based immigration benefits to the foreign workers of the highest talent and merits. Each department will be ordered to implement the reforms in this Executive Order to be executed within different time frames by rule-making process, within next one year to the maximum.
    • Immediate Actions:
      • Immediately terminate all the existing "parole" policies, gudance, and programs that contradict to this Executive Order policies.
      • Review and start rule-making process to reform practical training and OPT programs.
      • Review and start rule-making process to control work permits for B-1 and B-2 holders.
      • Review and start rule-making process for E-2 investor nonimmigrant programs from the perspectives of its negative impact on American Workers Jobs.
      • Review and start rule-making process for J-1 Summer Work Travel Program from the perspectives of its negative impact on American Workers Jobs.
    • Within 30-Day Actions:
      • Review and initiate rule-making process to reform of the current Visa Bulletin and visa allocation systems.
    • Within 90-day Actions:
      • Review and determine which regulations that give work permits to foreign workers negatively affect American workers or violate the law and initiate the rule-making process to repeal such rules.
      • Review and determine which regulations that give parole to foreigners with work permits that affect American workers and initiate the rule-making process to repeal such parole program.
      • Review and determine regulations from the perspectives of integrity of the program and restore such nonimmigrant worker programs.
      • Determine reform of H-1B program to ensure the benefits to the best and brightest foreign workers.
      • Initiate rule-making process for reform of H-2A program for efficiency and integrity.
      • Reinforcement of E-verify program.
      • DOJ to report injury to American workers by H-1B, L-1, and B-1 employment.
    • Within 180-day Actions:
      • DOL perform increased "site visits"for L-1 work places.
      • DOL plan to expand site visits for foreign worker work sites during the next two years.
    • Within 9 months Actions:
      • DOL to come up with a plan to protect American workers from foreign workers in H-1B, L-1, and B-1 visas.
  • It thus appears that there will be no immediate threat to the current foreign worker visa programs. The foreseeable change may come months or years from now. This report does not even touch the H-4 EAD rules and 140 EAD rules of the Obama Executive Immigration Action programs. Accordingly, for now, the foreign workers in these two programs may proceed with their agenda to take advantages from these two foreign worker regulations.
  • The negative actions will thus rather come from the Congress rather than Trump Administration for the foreseeable future. The Congress can repeal H-4 EAD and I-140 EAD rules once they pass the pending legislative bill to expand the Congress' power to repeal the regulations of previous administration.

This memo tells us that nothing is guaranteed in the near future. We should assume that H4-EAD, OPT Extension and I140-EAD rules all of them will be scrapped in the next one to two years.. Anything that gives an EAD to an immigrant will be a potential target.. 

H1 Lottery revamp is 100% guaranteed for next year's lottery.. 

H1 guys in or beyond your 6th year please don't risk losing your I140 by moving to a new employer.. If they revoke this rule then extensions are toast.. 

H4-EADs will now put a lot more pressure on the H1 queue 

OPT Extension will most likely be reverted back to one year or the earlier 27 months.. 36 months is gone for sure.. 

Please make contingency plans and if possible save money..Until you get your GC, please don't get into buying houses or expensive cars and lock up your money..
