I heard there is a new law that will make the minimum salary for most H1B workers $100,000. Is this true?

Answer

This is merely a proposed bill – one of thousands that will be proposed this year. The overwhelming majority of proposals like this never make it out of committee (i.e. never even get put up for a vote), let alone get signed into law. At this point, there is no reason to believe this particular bill will ever become a law. If, however, this or any other proposed immigration bill appears to get some traction, details will be posted on MurthyDotCom. (26.Jan.2017)

 

Is the H-4 EAD rule going to be cancelled?

Answer

At this point, it is unclear whether the Trump administration is going to take any action related to the H-4 EAD rule. If, however, President Trump does wish to alter or undo the program, it generally could only be done by going through the entire formal rulemaking process (or by Congressional action). (26.Jan.2017)

 

Is it true that I can no longer enter the U.S. using an advance parole (AP) document?

Answer

In order to get rid of the AP (or EAD/AP) program, it would almost certainly require a new regulation – which would have to go through the formal rulemaking process – or Congressional action. Further, although there is a rumored proposal that would try to get rid of certain types of parole, it does not appear to include the AP program for those with a pending I-485. (26.Jan.2017)
