Immigration Service Releases A New “Extraordinary” Immigrant Policy

It will be simpler for immigrants based on employment to be recognized as people with outstanding ability under new policy guidelines. Lawyers claim that the new policy from the Biden administration acknowledges the fact that many high achievers work in teams. This expands on earlier agency initiatives that increased the pool of foreign-born scientists and engineers who can demonstrate exceptional talent. By making more immigrants eligible for the highest priority employment category, the guideline may hasten the process of granting permanent residence. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will consider “a person’s receipt of team awards under the criterion for lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence in the field of endeavor” in order to make it easier for someone to qualify as an individual with extraordinary ability under the new guidance.
