H-2B Processing Resumes Temporarily While New Joint USCIS-DOL Rule Is Developed | Practical Law
The US District Court for the Northern District of Florida granted the DOL's motion for a temporary stay of the court's order in Perez v. Perez vacating the DOL's 2008 H-2B regulations, allowing the DOL to process H-2B prevailing wage and labor certification applications until April 15, 2015. The DOL and US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are jointly preparing a new rule governing the H-2B program that is expected to be promulgated by the end of April.
