USCIS Holding Meeting for Staffing Companies on the Neufeld Memo

| CLIENT ALERT


We have been advised that USCIS will hold an in-person meeting as well as a teleconference on Thursday, February 18th in Washington, DC at 1:00 pm EST to allow questions and receive further guidance and input regarding the recent Neufeld Memo concerning the Employer-Employee relationship.  They are inviting stakeholders to participate in a collaborative session to discuss the implementation of the guidance as set forth in the January 8, 2010 memo.

We recommend that if the staffing agency model with 3rd party jobsite locations coupled with the use of H-1B workers represents a significant part of your business, it would be strongly advisable that you plan to attend this conference or access it through teleconference.  It will be very interesting to hear what further guidance USCIS presents at this conference.

For those of you who might have missed the Immigration Solutions teleconference that we had last week on this topic, you can access the audio recording here.

If you would like to share with us any recent experiences you’ve had or your input as to how this impacts your business, please feel free to do so.
