Excuse me if this topic is already in any other thread/discussion.

Is it good or bad for the people who want to go for change of employment between now and few months from now?
Are they trying to make it as official rule or are they going to change the process.
What if somebody change the employment now and later if they change the rule?
05/05/2008: USCIS May Initiate the Long-Delayed Rule Making Process for AC 21 Proposed Rule
The so-called AC 21 Act has been impelemented by the legay INS and the USCIS without a regulation for a number of years using the policy memorandums. Generally, these policy memorandums revealed the agency's positive interpretation of the statute. The American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act, Public Law 106-313, was enacted on October 17, 2000, along with two bills, the Visa Waiver Permanent Program Act, Public Law 106-311, and a bill to increase the fee for certain H-1B petitions. An earlier piece of legislation, the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act (ACWIA), Public Law 105-277, was enacted to place certain conditions on the employment of H-1B workers. Together, these bills make significant changes to the H-1B classification. Public Law 106-313 increased the numerical H-1B cap to 195,000 for fiscal year 2000-2002 and the percentage of the fees that DHS receives to 4 percent. It exempts certain aliens from the numerical cap, provides for the "portability" of employment authorization, and in certain circumstances extensions of stay for certain aliens who have permanent residence applications pending. Public Law 105-277 imposes penalties for employers violating certain representations and prohibits retaliation against H-1B workers who disclose these violations. Finally, on November 2, 2002, the President approved enactment of Public Law 107-273, The Twenty-First Century Department of Justice Appropriations Act (21st Century DOJ Appropriations Act), which codified a provision that amends section 106(a) of AC21. This propoed regulation may be initiated in the next few months and will clarify several interpretive questions raised by the bills and ensure that the Department practice is consistent with these laws.
