Employers are required by law to inform local consulate if your status of visa changes, or if u jump ship!

Well guys, this is the latest from INS in a series of sweeping laws. All American consulates abroad have sent this communication to employers and clearly stated that non-compliance is a serious matter. Here goes the exact communication

Quote

* Do report to the in writing any employee who overstays, or "jumps ship" while in the U.S. Written notification must be sent immediately to the BEP via mail or email.

N.B.: Report overstays, deportations, change of status directly and immediately to the BE program, in writing via mail and/or email, and not to other consulate offices or officers.

Violations of any of these rules and regulations are grounds for expulsion or suspension from the program.



Whoa! So what does this mean to all of us? If u jump ship post yr 180 day period , yr employer will inform your local consulate and they can have a tab! Would this affect 485 approvals?

Also if u jump ship post 485 approvals, your employer has to inform the local consulate. So does that mean we can technically be considered for deportation!

Basically this new law opens a can of worms for all us to ponder! while it gives the INS more control over all our movements.

Welcome to reality and Happy new year! :D
 
This goes both ways,

Good, since people who didn't get their job changed, donot need to wait for RFE.

Bad, since if you did change jobs, be assured of an RFE.

Either way, the idea is, INS practically wants to know your underwear size these days.
 
You have put "all consulates abroad ", By this I would infer it means companies in other countries sending their employees to the U.S. on temporary projects and not companies located in the U.S. - otherwise the whole idea of AC21 law is moot.

Authorities just want to keep track of who comes in U.S. and is legal , if your are under adjustment of status then you're already legal and work for a U.S. based company.

Just my interpretation....
 
I think it is meant for H1 ppl who gets the VISA stamped from comsulates and do't renew there stamping using the same stamp to come and go even if they had changed the employers.
Biggestt Loophole is where do employer inform if i am citizen of country A but i got my H1 from country B consulate or Some other country. Where should the employer inform . Informing after u cange job after 180 days does't make sense cause you are under 485 AOS stage and you have nothing to do with your consulate beacue you will either use EAD or AP if not H1.
SM true INS want to know size of underwear but they do't know how to mesure it LOL . Another dumb policy by them but yeh still have't seen the Actual link so it could be rumor too.

Informing when you have opted for CP makes sense so that consulate knows that u have quit.
