USCIS Clarifies Multiple Filing Limits for Cap-Subject H-1B Petitions | Practical Law
US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) recently announced that it had published Policy Memorandum PM-602-0159 clarifying USCIS policy relating to identifying which employers are related entities for purposes of filing multiple cap-subject H-1B petitions for the same foreign worker beneficiary. The memorandum specifies when entities are related by factors other than corporate ownership and control. Employers (including related entities) may not file more than one cap-subject H-1B petition for a foreign worker to fill the same position in each fiscal year.
