HOW TO FIND OUT WHERE A FAMILY MEMBER DETAINED BY ICE IS BEING HELD

Our office receives calls on a fairly regular basis from tearful family members of aliens who were detained by ICE wondering where their parent, child or sibling has been taken.  Individuals facing such a predicament should contact their local ICE Office of Detention and Removal Operations for information on where their family member is being held.

USCIS INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYERS WHOSE H-1B PETITIONS FOR HEALTH CARE SPECIALTY OCCUPATIONS HAVE BEEN DENIED

According to a USCIS Press Release:  “If the Form I-129 was denied solely on the basis that the beneficiary did not possess a Master’s or higher degree in the field, the petition may be reopened on service motion and will be adjudicated in accordance with the May 20, 2009 memorandum on “Requirements for H-1B Beneficiaries Seeking to Practice in a Health Care Occupation” (see Related Links section of this page), which provides clarification on the standards for H-1B health care specialty occupations. USCIS will only review denials of petitions for which it has received a written request for review from the petitioning employer or its representative.”
