USCIS Releases Final New L1B Adjudication Memo.
August 17 2015 – USCIS has finally released the new L1B adjudication memo. The requirement of “specialized occupation” is the issue which is allegedly clarified in this memo.
“This policy memorandum provides guidance on the adjudication of the L-1B classification, which permits multinational companies to transfer employees who possess “specialized knowledge” from their foreign operations to their operations in the United States. It provides consolidated and authoritative guidance on the L-1B program, superseding and rescinding certain prior L-1B memoranda. This memorandum also updates the Adjudicator’s Field Manual (AFM) by replacing AFM chapter 32.6(e) with the version included in this memorandum.”
