USCIS Plans to Validate Financial Information of
Petitioning Companies
On December 10, 2009, USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas announced
that the agency intends to introduce the "Verification Initiative
for Business Enterprise" in 2010, a program which will assist USCIS
adjudicators in verifying financial information of companies who
petition to hire foreign workers.
Under the current system, USCIS must ask companies to validate their
financial stability and need for foreign workers for every petition,
regardless of how many foreign workers the company seeks to hire.
The new policy is intended to reduce the need for USCIS to ask for
the same information repeatedly by verifying financial information
once and using the information received for multiple company
petitions.
