"Applicants must be legally authorized to work full-time in the United States to be considered for employment"

Does this mean that I need to be legal if I was to be sponsored (ie. no criminal record).....or does it mean that I must already have permanent residency or working authorization to be suitable for this job?
What are the main requirements to get a visa sponsorship, in other words, what you have to do in order to make the company to provide you with sponsorship? What kind of companies actually do this? Any suggestions? personal experiences?

[WASP]

Out of top of my head, I remember reading a stat somewhere that 47% share of the total quota go to engineers/computer science. Only 4-6% to business/consulting. Companies generally must prove that there were no qualified US citizens or perm. residence applicants for the position.

WASP, how about accounting? I think it's not categorized as business/consulting? or is it?

How about professional designations? CPA, CFP etc. Can they help you out?

[Prince]

If you have Masters , u have better chances but not with Bs in Business
WASP is right , more then 50% goes for Computer Science/IT Majors.
Laziz , bilmadimu mani 2 ta tanishim Bs in Business qilib turib H-1 oldi!!! Uzbek emas lekin!! Xarakatta - barakat!!!!

[Prince]

10 ta talabani bilaman , mani tanishlarim , Bs in Business qilganidan ish topolmay majburan uyga qaytib ketishgan , yoki Majburan Masters uqishyapti , dalshe pul sarflab....
P.S U go to school for 4 years and u'll spend more then 40K and after that u'll never get a job or H-1 , alam qisa kerak a? Ana undan keyin yana Mastersga uqish uchun 20-30K sarflash kerak buladi
Peace ,

Peace ,

Prince, that's exactly the case. I also have witnessed such situations when guys hopelessly abandon the States or choose to go to grad school. This is just killing my hopes, you know. But I know there are some guys mostly indians or asians as you told, who are damn lucky to get sponsorship and eventually employed. What about you? have you finished your school? what are you up to?

[Martingale]

Prince, even if you do Masters(well, of course with no experience you surely are not going to top MBA), there is a very slim chance of getting employed or even ending up with nothing. So what's the logic behind? You spend the most favorable years of your life working hours and hours, spending sleepless nights to study for exam and in the end you got almost nothing? Let's say, I went to Grad school, got my master's, but couldn't find a job or the company who can sponsor me? Should I go to do Ph.D? No thanks, gotta have a life sometimes.:twisted: Damn it...

[Prince]

Laziz , thats why try to spend less for ur school !!! becuase no one guarantee that u'll get a job!!!!
Laziz , $$$ qilish yollarini toping , ubu biznes yurgazib qoymasez , betta uqib , pul ketkazishdan foyda yoq , keyin H-1 olish uchun xam shans unaqa katta emas!!!
P.S: Going to school is just waste of time/money!!!!

I know, Prince...but after all I had gone through and those expenses, giving up like this... I think I just can't afford it. That Im workin part time has already reflected on my grades, i don't wanna repeat that mistake. At least, I have a hope that I won't get lost in the woods, but as you said no one can guarantee this. hech bumasa bilim obketilik. Pul bir gap bular.:)

Statement sounds like that u should have working authorization to be suitable to that job. In F-1 student SS card it's written not authorized to work, so F-1s probably don't qualify to it.

[Mamothy]

Here we go. I think everything should be clear now. Just read the information below.
Students may apply for EAD (Employment Authorization Document) based
on their CPT or OPT. Otherwise they are allowed to work on cumpus only.
If you were lucky to find a decent job employer will get you an H1B status.
To get a green card later is just a matter of your experience, talents and money for
those greedy lawyers.

What is an Employment Authorization Document?

U.S. employers must check to make sure all employees, regardless of citizenship or national origin, are allowed to work in the United States. If you are not a citizen or a lawful permanent resident, you may need to apply for an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to prove you may work in the United States.

USCIS issues Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) in the following categories:


EAD: This document proves you are allowed to work in the United States.


Renewal EAD: You should apply for a renewal EAD six months before your original EAD expires.


Replacement EAD: This document replaces a lost, stolen, or mutilated EAD. A replacement EAD also replaces an EAD that was issued with incorrect information, such as a misspelled name.


Interim EAD: If USCIS does not approve or deny your EAD application within 90 days (within 30 days for an asylum applicant; note: asylum applicants are eligible to file for EADs only after waiting 150 days from the date they filed their properly completed original asylum applications), you may request an interim EAD document.

What Does the Law Say?
The Immigration and Nationality Act is a law that governs the admission of all persons to the United States. For the part of the law about Employment Authorization Documents, please see INA § 274A (http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/?f=id&id=slb-act274acap). The Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] discusses the employment authorization responsibilities of both employers and employees at 8 CFR § 274a (http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/?f=id&id=slb-cfrp274a).

Who is Eligible?
The specific categories that require an Employment Authorization Document include (but are not limited to) asylees and asylum seekers; refugees; students seeking particular types of employment; applicants to adjust to permanent residence status; people in or applying for temporary protected status; fiancйs of American citizens; and dependents of foreign government officials. Please see Form I-765 (http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-765.htm) (Application for Employment Authorization) for a complete list of the categories of people who must apply for an Employment Authorization Document to be able to work in the United States.

If you are a U.S. citizen, you do not need an Employment Authorization Document.



If you are a lawful permanent resident or a conditional permanent resident, you do not need an Employment Authorization Document. Your Alien Registration Card proves that you may work in the United States.

If you are authorized to work for a specific employer, such as a foreign government, you do not need an Employment Authorization Document. Your passport and your Form I-94 (Arrival-Departure Record) proves that you may work in the United States. Please see 8 CFR 274a.12(b) (http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/?f=id&id=slb-8cfrsec274a12b), which provides a full list of the categories of people who do not need to apply for an EAD.

Currently I'm in J-1 visa, being an exchange student in the USA. If I apply to college and get that I-20 form and go back to Tashkent in summer, can I change my visa status to F-1? Will the US ambassy 100% give me a new visa or can they reject it??? Is it a privelage or right?
Thank U

Hello Dear Forum.uz-

I have an F-1 student visa. The expiration date on the stamp on the passport is 03/31/2006. The date I was suppose to complete my Associate's Degree.

Concurrently, I have a scholarship that should extend my I-20(offiical document that tells that a student is enrolled in this that course, till this time) form till the end of my Bachelor's Degree.

The question is, if I travel to Uzbekistan do I have to renew my stamp on the passport(shiny stamp that includes your photo, basically american visa in your passport). Or, can I travel with my updated I-20 form?

Any response, any suggestion are welcome!

P.S. I looked for an information in the Sticky Thread but that was mostly employment or post-school related visa issues. If the mods could make this thread sticky, that would be wonderful. There are more and more people coming in Study visa (J-1, F-1) from day to day.

If being under J-1 affects your chances of getting another visa, F or H, it may onle affect positively. I myself had j-1, but Im not Flex fellow and I did the same: went back home and got F-1 issued. but I would suggest you to think over before taking any further steps. Do you really want to go to college in US? If the answer is yes, apply for the school which can provide you with 100% finanical aid. If the answer is no, then then good luck! Good decision, I should say.:D

[Буратино]

By all means,you will have to apply for a US visa.Remember,US visa is issued in order for you to be able to get in the country.Extending I-20 form will only allow you to maintain legal status,it doesn't allow you to travel outside the country.But chances are pretty high that you will be issued your new F1 visa upon applying at a US Embassy.

Hey, buddy !

You don't need to go through this shitty thing again. As long as you show to the immigration officer your old passport with visa & the new one, he should be able to let you in the U.S. - this is a new regulation, which facilitates access to the U.S. for those, visiting this country.

Вопрос: Срок действия моего паспорта истёк, а в нём у меня – действующая виза. Как можно перенести эту визу в новый паспорт?
Ответ: Это совсем необязательно. Департамент Отечественной Безопасности и Государственный Департамент США считают действительной неаннулированную визу, срок действия которой не истёк. Такая виза является действительной даже если она находится в аннулированном паспорте или паспорте с истёкшим сроком действия.
Имея новый паспорт и действующую визу в недействительном паспорте, Вы можете ехать в США с двумя паспортами. В этом случае, до момента истечения срока действия визы у Вас не возникнет никаких проблем с въездом в страну, если, конечно, не будут выявлены какие-либо другие причины для запрета Вашего въезда. Получать новую визу в новый паспорт нет необходимости.

It's about expired visa not passport.Besides,even if you have an expired passport with valid visa on it,you still have to apply for a visa and get it stamped on your new passport.This won't be as painful as getting a brand spanking new visa though.

I apologize for being not clear. Let Me Clarify. My Passport does not expire until 2011. So my question is really about the visa stamp in the passport, not the passport itself.

Thanks for everyone's response.

Dear,

I was answering the very original question, the one on top. Besides, I provided the source, which would confirm that you shouldn't be refused to enter States, if you have expired passport with valid visa along with new valid passport.

[Masud]

So concluding, I have to get a new US visa stamp on my passport even though I have a valid visa, don't I???.

Last time when I was entering the United States, the Immigration Officer looked my old visa(J-1) stamp on the passport. He scanned it and gave my passport back, saying I was good to go. What do you say to that?

It might have been a mistake or something.You don't want to risk and do something like that.Better go back home,get your new visa and come back.You won't have any problems.You have been attending school,so it's not like you are applying for the visa first time.
You other option is not to go home at all:)You can just stay here and you will be fine.
You will need a letter from your college,your I-20 form,bank statement and you are good to go.

There is no way you can get a stamp in the US.Remember,visas are only for entry purposes,since you are already in the US,they won't stamp your passport.

How do you know the hell is cheap? People pound lots of lots of money just to get to the hell. Anyway.

Back to the topic, What if they see my visa is expired? Couldn't they put that stamp in the US. I think it is more safe, you would say, to get a visa stamp than getting it in Uzb. They don't carry around AK-47s around immigratioin office, here.

Second, how can you tell that they don't issue visa stamp here in the United States?

heave,

colsult with international student office or undergraduate advisors at your institution. I believe there is always a way out.
I assume you wanna extend your stay here for one or two more semesters, right? you have to fill out a form(don't remember how they call it) and send it to INS. I have never been told that I have to go back and get a new stamp. You might be asked for some money by INS.

thanks Laziz for the reply

I have already consulted with my DSO (Designated School Official) about this matter. She said the extension is not going to be problem. In fact, I am extending my stay until my bachelor's degree. After getting that taken care of, I thought about visiting home(Uzb). I asked her whether that would be a problem, she said she didn't know.
That is why I am here adressing you all about, whether, you can get the visa stamp here or not, while still in the US?

heave,

as far as I understood your question, you are concerned only about the stamp. :)

- An F-1 student is admitted to the United States for "Duration of Status" (which is noted as "D" slash "S" on their Form I-94, "Arrival-Departure Record", instead of a specific expiration date) to complete an educational program, plus any authorized practical training following completion of their studies, plus sixty day grace period to prepare for departure from the United States... (http://www.theodora.com/students.html#How%20to%20Extend%20Student%20Status )

It means you do not have to go back and get the stamp. Once you got your visa, you've been admitted as a student to US and as it stated above you are given the visa until you get your degree here. So you will have to fill out two forms,which are given on the link and send them to USCIS(not anymore INS?:rolleyes: ). They will automatically renew your profile and I guess you will be set. At least this is what this and other websites say.
However, you might need some proof while reentering the US, if you left it during your extended period. You'd better check with your visa advisor on that. Use your local sources, they are free.:)

and what about I-94, buddy? Visa is just "ticket" to enter the country, so it's expiration doesn't determine the legal status of an alien. The real thing is I-94 and the mercy of the USCIS! The stamp on F-1 visa holder's I-94 is usually Duration of Study (DS).

The Solve Act
The Safe, Orderly, Legal Visas and Enforcement Act (Solve Act) was introduced in the Senate (Senate Bill 2381) and House of Representatives (House Bill 4262) in 2004. It is proposed legislation only; its provisions are not enacted into law. The Solve Act, as proposed, contains provisions broken down into the following areas: 1) an earned adjustment program for undocumented workers to apply for legal permanent resident (LPR) status; 2) family reunification enhancements; and 3) a new temporary worker program.

Earned Adjustment Program

The Solve Act proposes an earned adjustment program for undocumented workers in the United States. If they met certain requirements, they would be eligible to earn adjustment to LPR status. These requirements include a continuous physical presence in the United States for at least five years, employment in the U.S. for at least two years, a record of payment of taxes, and a minimum understanding of English and U.S. civics. In addition, spouses and children of eligible applicants could also apply for LPR status under the SOLVE Act. If an applicant for earned adjustment were denied, the Solve Act proposes that the decision be reviewable in a court of law.

The Solve Act proposes that any information disclosed in an application for earned adjustment could only be used to process that application and not to penalize the undocumented worker. In addition, the employers of the undocumented workers would not be subject to civil or criminal penalties for having employed the workers.

The Solve Act also proposes a "transitional status" that could be granted to undocumented workers who could not meet all of the earned adjustment requirements. Transitional status would be granted for a maximum of five years. During that time, a worker could apply for earned adjustment if he or she reached a point where the worker met all of the requirements.

By applying for a longer duration of studies. There is no other way, unless you want to exchange your J-1 to other visa types like tourist visa.

P.S. Not all J-1 Visas have 2 year home residency requirement. Check it first before you do anything new to your status.

I had a friend who applied for an entension of his J-1 visa, and got a rejection from INS, then went back to Uzb. and got an F-1 visa instead... I don't think that you extend your J-1 visa, unless your program supervisor (ex., IREX) applies directly for an exptension for you....

J-1 type Visa with condition iss granted for those exchange students who are funded by US government or any governmental organizations (including other governments). It is a deal that INS (former) offers you in order to be able to get the funding, without fulfilling which INS will not let you jump to any other status besides student and visitor...

forex, what do you mean? Did you mean you couldn't come back? You did not like that two years that you had to serve in Uzbekistan?

What documentations do you need to proove that you were in your home country for the period of time?

I was home for three month, does that count?

[forex]

yeah,it does count.
Also,any time you have spent out of uzbekistan does not count.(say you spend 6 months in Europe)You have to make sure you spend it in Uzbekistan.That is why it is called home stay requirement,in other words you have to spend it at your home country.
Do not worry about the proof,BCIS will figure it out,they have a way to figure it out,just make sure you spend two yrs.
Hence,you do not need to serve the requirement if you are applying for a student or worker visa,you will only need to waive it if you are applying for permanent residence.This is where they get you.
good luck.

USCIS REACHES FY 2008 H-1B CAP

The USCIS announced today that it has received enough H-1B visa petitions to meet the Fiscal Year 2008 cap. USCIS comments that they will use a random selection process for all the H-1B filings subject to the cap that were received on April 2 and April 3. Any petition received on those days but not chosen in the random selection process will be rejected and returned to the petitioner, along with the filing fee. In addition, any cap-subject petitions received on or after April 4, 2007 will be rejected. The earliest point that H-1B visas, subject to this cap, can be re-submitted will be April 1, 2008, when visas become available for Fiscal Year 2009. ( dont graduate or apply before that) :cool:

As of end-of-day, Monday, USCIS received roughly 150,000 cap-subject H-1B petitions. The next step will be for USCIS to perform initial data entry of all those filings. Because of the amount of petitions received, we expect the random selection process will not begin for at least several weeks.

As of today, USCIS is not sure how many petitions were received for exemption H-1B visas, those 20,000 visas reserved for international petitioners with masters’ or higher degrees received in the U.S. USCIS will soon make an announcement regarding these petitions.

In addition, USCIS will continue to process petitions filed on behalf of H-1B workers that do not count toward the H-1B cap. These petitions include cases to extend the amount of time a current H-1B worker may remain in the U.S.; change the terms of employment for current H-1B workers; allow current H-1B workers to change employers; or allow current H-1B workers to work concurrently in a second H-1B position.

USCIS also notes that any other H-1B cases that are exempted from the cap will not be affected by this announcement.

It took only 2 days to fill 150 000 :D

USCIS Update

April 5, 2007
USCIS RELEASES PRELIMINARY NUMBER OF FY 2008 H-1B CAP FILINGS

WASHINGTON * U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a preliminary number of
filings today as the tallying of H-1B petitions received on April 2 and April 3 continues. On April 3, USCIS
announced that it had received enough petitions to meet the congressionally mandated cap for fiscal year
2008 (FY 2008) and that it would conduct a computer-generated random selection of cap-subject petitions
filed on Monday (April 2) and Tuesday (April 3) to determine which cases USCIS will accept for processing.

During Monday and Tuesday, USCIS received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions.
This is lower that the original USCIS estimate of 150,000. USCIS based the initial estimate on amounts
from manifests received along with the mail. USCIS reached the updated number following a physical count
of the mail. Each piece of mail may contain more than one H-1B petition. It will take USCIS a substantial
amount of time to open and sort through that volume of mail.

As of Wednesday, 28,052 of the cases sorted are H-1B petitions subject to FY 2008 congressionally
mandated cap. Four thousand, seven hundred three (4,703) cases are exempt from the FY 2008 H-1B cap as
employers filed those petitions for aliens holding a master's degree or higher from a U.S. institution.

USCIS will provide regular updates as the processing of FY 2008 H-1B cap cases continues.

H-1B in General: U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in specialty
occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in fields, such as scientists, engineers or computer
programmers. As part of the H-1B program, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the
Department of Labor (DOL) require U.S. employers to meet specific labor conditions to ensure that
American workers are not adversely impacted, while DOL's Wage and Hour Division safeguards the
treatment and compensation of H-1B workers.

Requiring Change of Status From B to F-1 or M-1 Nonimmigrant Prior to Pursuing a Course of Study [67 FR 18062] [FR 11-02]

DOCUMENT NUMBER: FR 11-02
FEDERAL REGISTER CITE: 67 FR 18062
DATE OF PUBLICATION: April 12, 2002
BILLING CODE: 4410-10

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE Immigration and Naturalization Service

8 CFR Parts 214 and 248

[INS No. 2195-02]

RIN 1115-AG60

Requiring Change of Status From B to F-1 or M-1

Nonimmigrant Prior to Pursuing a Course of Study

AGENCY: Immigration and Naturalization Service, Justice.

ACTION: Interim rule with request for comments.

SUMMARY: This interim rule amends the Immigration and Naturalization Service (Service) regulations by eliminating the current provision allowing a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant visitor for business or pleasure to begin attending school without first obtaining approval of a change of nonimmigrant status request from the Service. This change will enhance the Service’s ability to support the national security needs of the United States and is within the Service's authority under section 248 of the Immigration and Nationalit y Act (Act). The amendment will ensure that no B nonimmigrant is allowed to enroll in school until the alien has applied for, and the Service has approved, a change of nonimmigrant status to that of F-1 or M-1 nonimmigrant student.

DATES: Effective date : This interim rule is effective April 12, 2002.


Comment date : Written comments must be submitted on or before June 11, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Please submit written comments to the Director, Regulations and Forms Services Division, Immigration and Naturalization Service, 425 I Street, NW, Room 4034, Washington, DC 20536. To ensure proper handling, please reference the INS No. 2195-02 on your correspondence. Comments may also be submitted electronically to the Service at insregs@usdoj.gov. When submitting comments electronically, please include INS No. 2195-02 in the subject heading. Comments are available for public inspection at this location by calling (202) 514-3048 to arrange for an appointment.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Howie, Business and Trade Services Branch, Adjudications Division, Immigration and Naturalization Service, 425 I Street, NW., Room 3040, Washington, DC 20536, telephone (202) 353-8177.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background


What Is a B Nonimmigrant Alien ?

A B nonimmigrant is an alien whose admission to the United States is based on a temporary visit for business (B-1) or a temporary visit for pleasure (B-2). Section 101(a)(15)(B) of the Act, 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(15)(B), defines the visitor classification as:

An alien (other than one coming for the purpose of study or of performing skilled or unskilled labor or as a representative of foreign press, radio, film, or other foreign information media coming to engage in such vocation) having a residence in a foreign country which he has no intention of abandoning and who is visiting the United States temporarily for business or temporarily for pleasure.

Based on the statutory language, the Service has long held a B-1 nonimmigrant to be one seeking admission for legitimate activities of a commercial or professional nature such as meetings, conferences, or consultations in the United States in connection with the conduct of international business and commerce. A B-2 nonimmigrant is one seeking admission for activities relating to pleasure such as touring, family visits, or for purposes of receiving medical treatment.

What Is the Service Changing in This Interim Rule ?

The Service is eliminating the ability of an alien admitted to the United States as a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant to begin attending classes without first applying to the Service, and obtaining the Service's prior approval, for a change of nonimmigrant status to that of an F or M nonimmigrant student. This rule expressly prohibits a B nonimmigrant from enrolling in a course of study or taking other actions inconsistent with B nonimmigrant status unless and until the Service has approved the B nonimmigrant's cha nge to an appropriate student nonimmigrant status.

Why Is the Service Instituting This Change ?

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, highlight the need of the Service to maintain greater control over the ability of an alien to change nonimmigrant status once the alien has been admitted to the United States. This interim rule will allow the Service to fully review any request from a B nonimmigrant to change nonimmigrant status to that of full-time student before allowing the alien to enroll in a Service-approved school. The elimination of the ability of a B nonimmigrant to begin classes before receiving the Service's approval of the change of nonimmigrant status is also consistent with the Act's requirement in section 101(a)(15)(B) that a B nonimmigrant not be a person coming to the United States for the purpose of study.

Why Is This Change Limited to B Nonimmigrants ?

In the process of drafting this rule, the Service considered making its requirements (i.e., that nonimmigrants obtain a student visa before being able to take courses) apply to anyone in the United States not currently in student status. Such a requirement would be broader than the rule as presently drafted, which applies just to nonimmigrants in B-1 or B-2 visitor status.

B nonimmigrants generally enter the United States for purposes of tourism or for a business trip. Pursuing a course of study is inconsistent with these purposes, and thus inconsistent with B status. However, pursuit of studies generally is consistent with most other nonimmigrant statuses, and thus such a broader rule could have unintended and overly burdensome consequences for such nonimmigrants. For some, such a J-1 au pair or an H-3 trainee, the courses might be an integral part of the program for which they obtained their status. For many dependent spouses, such as H-4s, derivatives of A or G diplomats, or NAFTA TN-2s, studies may be their only permissible pursuit while accompanying their spouse who is working in the United States. Dependent children are, in fact, expected to attend school. Even some principals in nonimmigrant status (e.g., H-1Bs, L-1s) may take courses incident to status to enhance their professional development. Requiring that these individuals change to F-1 or M-1 status in order to pu rsue studies would eliminate their ability to attend part-time, since by statute F-1s and M-1s must be pursuing a full course of study and since a nonimmigrant is prohibited from holding more than one nonimmigrant status while in the United States.

How Does This Interim Rule Affect B-1 or B-2 Nonimmigrants Previously Admitted to the United States ?

This interim rule will accommodate B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrants who have already been admitted to the United States prior to April 12, 2002. In view of the Service's prior policy, this interim rule does not prevent such aliens from starting a course of study after filing an application for change of status, or require those aliens to stop taking classes while the Service processes the change of nonimmigrant status request.

However, this interim rule applies to all aliens who are admitted as, or change their status to, a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant, on or after April 12, 2002. This interim rule also applies to all current B visitors who apply for an extension of their B nonimmigrant status on or after April 12, 2002.

Request for Comments

The Service is seeking public comments regarding this interim rule. The Service requests that parties interested in commenting on the provisions contained within this rule do so on or before June 11, 2002, as the Service will not extend the comment period.

Good Cause Exception

The Service's implementation of this rule as an interim rule, with provisions for post-promulgation public comments, is based on the “good cause” exceptions found at 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and (d)(3). The reason and necessity for the immediate promulgation of this rule are as follows: The rule is necessary to ensure the national security of the United States by eliminating the ability of a B nonimmigrant to enroll in school until the Service has approved a change of nonimmigrant status application filed by the prospective alien student. The previous rule allowing such enrollment prior to adjudication of the application was used by some of the September 11th terrorists to obtain flight training in the United States. Closing this loophole is essential to efforts to prevent this abuse from recurring.

There is also reasonable concern that publication of this regulation as a proposed rule, one that would not take effect until after a final rule was promulgated, could lead to the counterproductive result of a surge of entries by individuals who have no intention of going through the consular screening process overseas and who would seek admission as a B nonimmigrant while having the intent of becoming an F or M nonimmigrant student after admission to the United States.

However, this interim rule takes account of the interests of those aliens currently admitted to the United States in B nonimmigrant status. Such aliens will continue to be governed by the Service's prior policy regarding change to F or M nonimmigrant status, for the remainder of their currently-authorized B nonimmigrant admission.

Accordingly, the Service believes that advance public notice and comment on this regulation would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest. Therefore, there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) and (d) for dispensing with the requirements of prior notice and to make this rule effective upon the date of publication in the Federal Register .

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed this regulation and, by approving it, certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule applies only to B nonimmigrants applying to change to either F or M nonimmigrant status. It does not affect small entities as that term is defined in 5 U.S.C. 601(6).

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year, and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996

This rule is not a major rule as defined by section 804 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Act of 1996. This rule will not result in an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; a major increase in costs or prices; or significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United States-based companies to compete with foreign-based companies in domestic and export markets.

Executive Order 12866

This rule is considered by the Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service, to be a “significant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866, section 3(f), Regulatory Planning and Review. Accordingly, this rule has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review.

Executive Order 13132

This rule will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the National Government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Therefore, in accordance with section 6 of Executive Order 13132, it is determined that this rule does not have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism summary impact statement.

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform

This rule meets the applicable standards set forth in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988.

Paperwork Reduction Act

Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13, all Departments are required to submit to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), for review and approval, any reporting or recordkeeping requirements inherent in a rule. This rule does not impose any new reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act.

List of Subjects

Administrative practice and procedure, Aliens, Employment, Foreign officials, Health professions, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Students.

8 CFR Part 248

(6) [Reserved]

(7) Enrollment in a course of study prohibited. An alien who is admitted as, or changes status to, a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant on or after April 12, 2002, or who files a request to extend the period of authorized stay in B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant status on or after such date, violates the conditions of his or her B-1 or B-2 status if the alien enrolls in a course of study. Such an alien who desires to enroll in a course of study must either obtain an F-1 or M-1 nonimmigrant visa from a consular officer abroad a nd seek readmission to the United States, or apply for and obtain a change of status under section 248 of the Act and 8 CFR part 248. The alien may not enroll in the course of study until the Service has admitted the alien as an F-1 or M-1 nonimmigrant or has approved the alien's application under part 248 of this chapter and changed the alien's status to that of an F-1 or M-1 nonimmigrant.

PART 248--CHANGE OF NONIMMIGRANT CLASSIFICATION

3. The authority citation for part 248 continues to read as follows:

Authority: 8 U.S.C. 1101, 1103, 1184; 1258; 8 CFR part 2.
4. Section 248.1 is amended by revising paragraph (c) to read as follows:

§ 248.1 Eligibility.

* * * * *
(c) Change of nonimmigrant classification to that of a nonimmigrant student.

(1) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(3) of this section, a nonimmigrant applying for a change of classification as an F-1 or M-1 student is not considered ineligible for such a change solely because the applicant may have started attendance at school before the application was submitted. The district director or service center director shall deny an application for a change to classification as an M-1 student if the applicant intends to pursue the course of study solely in order to qualify for a subseque nt change of nonimmigrant classification to that of an alien temporary worker under section 101(a)(15)(H) of the Act. Furthermore, an alien may not change from classification as an M-1 student to that of an F-1 student.

(2) [Reserved]

(3) A nonimmigrant who is admitted as, or changes status to, a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant on or after April 12, 2002, or who files a request to extend the period of authorized stay as a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant on or after such date, may not pursue a course of study at an approved school unless the Service has approved his or her application for change of status to a classification as an F-1 or M-1 student. The district director or service center director will deny the change of status if the B-1 or B-2 nonimmi grant enrolled in a course of study before filing the application for change of status or while the application is pending before the Service.
