Beyond Borders: Immigration, Compliance, HR & Talent Trends

Annual Cap Reached for EB-3, EW, and EB-5 Visa Categories

The U.S. State Department has recently announced that employment-based visas like EB-3, EW, and EB-5 have reached their annual cap limit, and no other visa will be issued in this category until Oct 1, 2024. The early exhaustion of these visas for FY 2024 shows that the demand for these visa categories is high as US economies rely on foreign talent to fill the labor gap in various fields, including healthcare and IT industries.

Building RFE Responses: Essential Tips for IT Employers

As an employer, receiving an RFE can be alarming, and you may have many concerns. However, an RFE doesn’t indicate that your visa application is being denied. It simply means that USCIS requires more information to make a decision on your petition. By submitting the requested details within the specified timeframe, you significantly improve the chances of your visa being approved. Some crucial things have to be kept in mind while building RFE responses:
  • Thoroughly analyze the RFE notice to understand the specific requests of the USCIS.
  • Collect necessary documents & ensure they are up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive.
  • Structure the response logically, addressing each point raised in the RFE.

You can leverage Imagility’s RFE Response Builder to quickly assemble your RFE replies, complete with expert recommendations and tips. Download our playbook to understand what an RFE entails and how to create compelling RFE responses using Imagility’s Response Builder.
