The program faces some limitations. The interpretations of the statutes are inconsistent. Moreover, the guidelines concerning the interpretations are vague while the procedure for judging the petitions creates uncertainty for the firms (Mehta, 2015). The DHS realized the importance of the program and through a memo to the USCIS, the Director, Jeh Johnson urged the creation of policies that would create better consistency to the procedure for adjudicating the petitions. The policy would provide a clear meaning of the words “specialized knowledge”. Moreover, the directive aimed at bringing cohesion and integrity to the program.

The goal is to benefit the U.S. economy and the multinational companies. The availability of the memo and the provided guidelines, the enterprises and the employees can reflect on the previous and the current guidelines.
Administrative Costs: The major issue in all these options is the changes in policy. These changes require the cooperation of all government agencies in providing an overhaul of the whole system. For the L-1B program, the necessary steps are the new definitive policies that would allow for better interpretation. For many years, the adjudication procedure was predictable with many petitions being canceled. The major issues that arose from the cancellations were that the cancellations were based on the term "specialized knowledge" without the adjudicators providing a definitive meaning of the term (Huguelet,

The current interpretation of the rules would limit many qualified workers from working in the United States. The limitations would slow the economic growth since the experts who wish to expand their operations within the country (Huguelet, 2015).
Administrative Feasibility: The major issue arising from the various complaints about the program is the vagueness and ambiguity that occurs as people and the organizations wish to interpret the meaning of the term "specialized knowledge." The supportive structures exist to help the implementation. The visa aims to provide the foreign experts the avenue to operate international businesses. The United States seeks to get a share of the expertise which would allow more workers settle in the country thus providing a diversified labor force. The reforms took place in 2004. The legislation allowed the employees be accompanied by their families. The law stated the various regulations relating to the children and the partners.

The employees of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have dedicated their lives and work hard at helping others make a better life for themselves.

Curiously, Plaintiffs ask this Court to undertake a Prima Paint analysis while declining to refer it to the contractual language at issue. Rather, Plaintiffs petition this Court to entertain the tautological argument that this Court must try the issue of Defendants’ alleged fraudulent conduct to assess whether it “relates to” the supply agreement. The sort of analysis advanced by the Plaintiffs is precisely the analysis that the Congress and subsequent judicial authorities have admonished, and would undermine “the federal policy favoring arbitration, and [resolving] ambiguities as to the scope of the arbitration clause itself . . . in favor of arbitration.” Aggarao, 675 F.3d at 368 (quoting United States v.

The first institution that plays a major role in immigration is the Department of Homeland Security (DOH). John Francis Kelly is the fifth and current United States Secretary of the Department. Within the Department of Homeland Security lies the U.S. Citizenships and Immigration Services (USCIS). According to “Who Does what in U.S. Immigration”, the USCIS, “…is responsible for providing immigration-related services such as processing immigrant and nonimmigrant benefits; adjudicating refugee, asylee, and naturalization petitions; and granting or denying work authorization”. USCIS has four eligibility requirements:
In recent headlines, the H-1B visa has come become a debatable topic. The number of visas distributed to skilled workers (H-1B) and who receives them, and whether the United States should increase or decrease the amount. Currently, the H-1B visa system is structure to administer 65,000 H-1B visas (Services, H-1B Fiscal Years (FY) 2014 Cap Season). According to the United States Citizenship and Immigration, 124,000 petitions were received during the 2013 fiscal year. (Services, H-1B Fiscal Years (FY) 2014 Cap Season). Some are suggesting that we need more skilled immigrant labor within our country for innovative and entrepreneurial exploration, while others are opposed to such a change and would prefer a decrease in the number of
On the other hand, Korman stated that the annual limit for low-skill work visa is only a few thousands compared to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistic’s finding that the country is also expecting millions of low-skill job vacancies in the coming decade. He claims illegal immigration is on the rise in the United States lately because such small number of visas for low-skill labor results an illegal market to offset the high demand (60). For a more efficient economy and stronger immigration system, America is required to discourage illegal immigration and encourage legal procedures by implementing proper policies and regulations towards alien labor force. An apparent need here is to increase the limits set for issuing both high-skill and low-skill visas as a foremost measure to boost its legal immigration. As a result, the illegal workforce can also diminish and the economy will improve.
There are a lot of pros and cons to this reform and a lot of aspects of the act are being misinterpreted or misunderstood. Although this reform was designed with the best intents, certain aspects of it seem to be questionable. One of the aspects that raises the most disputes among the political leaders is the funding issue associated with the implementation of this act. In order to finance the new program

This paper considers both migrant-positive ‘legalization’ policies and migrant-negative ‘restrictive’ policies. Positive policies include increasing the probability that a worker will be able to gain legal status, immediately legalizing workers who desire a path to legalization or citizenship, and redesigning guest worker programs, especially within the agricultural sector, which will be discussed later. Negative policies include increasing border enforcement to decrease the number of illegal immigrants, “increasing the costs that illegal immigrants face when looking for a job” such as
Illegal immigration was an issue in the past and is a pressing problem in the present. The U.S. Government has been trying to find a resolution to this issue for years. The United States approved the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986, which allowed the American Government to punish American companies that consciously employed illegal immigrants (Nadadur 1037-1052). The United States’ Government Immigration Reform and Control Act has been unsuccessful in controlling illegal immigration. It is estimated that illegal immigration into the U.S. has a yearly interval of three hundred fifty thousand people (Rousmaniere 24-25). It is apparent that the 1986 act was not able to keep a handle on illegal immigration. Illegal immigration
The process of immigrating to the U.S. involves more than one pathway and extensive requirements.
Facilitated naturalization can also help the economy in the same way that technological innovations do. There still exists a large pool of minimally paid wage-earners, even with the influx of highly skilled workers, which keeps costs low and raises standards of living. The American economy has grown vastly dependent on these immigrants who do undesirable work imperative for society, especially in the agricultural industry (Semuels, “Business Owners Getting Vocal on Immigration”). Journalist Alana Semuels has dairy farmer Joe Wright elaborate on this predicament, and Wright explains that because of past anti-immigration laws, he has been forced to hire as far from the U.S. as Africa and Europe, raising expenditures for him and consumers. Many farmers are demanding immigration reform that will allow for them to have year-round employment, seeing as their biggest source of labor comes from immigrating Hispanics, farmer Joe Wright confirms (Semuels, “Business Owners Getting Vocal on Immigration”).
