Summary of State Bar of Texas meeting with top CDJ Consular Officials

Summary of State Bar of Texas meeting with top CDJ Consular Officials
April 24, 2009
Camino Real Hotel – El Paso, Texas

Laura Dogu, Deputy Consul General said:
• Visa floor (1st floor) has 87 windows, USC services floor (2nd floor) has 22 windows
• Goal is to get applicants in and out within one hour (not yet accomplished!)
• City of Juarez is building new holding center next door (to get people off the street),
but it’s not done yet. They will eventually have places to sit in this climate-controlled
facility, probably parking, and snacks/drinks. They are in talks about whether this
facility would organize the appts by hour, and then when CDJ radios over that they’re
ready for the next group, this facility would send them over. This is just in the idea
stages right now.
• CDJ is largest U.S. Consulate in the world
• PER DAY, CDJ processes 800 to 1200 IVs, 1000 NIVs, 70 to 150 waivers, & 50 to 100

X2 release

USC services/Federal benefits
• In 2008, CDJ processed 150,000 IVs and 130,000 NIVs (a record year for them) and
they caught up on their backlog. This means that all IVs that come through NVC are
immediately scheduled for IVs in CDJ.
• CEAC form DS-160 has been released recently – being used in CDJ for NIVs (but NOT
for Ks! K1s are to continue bringing duplicate DS-156s and DS-156K and K3s are to
bring duplicate DS-156s.)
• Eventually they want to make the DS-230s electronic, but not yet.
• Applicants are to arrive 15 mins prior to time of IV. They have a problem with

applicants/family members standing in crowds in front of the Consulate – Attys should
encourage clients NOT to arrive more than 15 mins early for IV!! Paseo de la Victoria
is a busy 6-lane street (two-way traffic)!
• There are greeters outside to help deal w/the applicants who arrive early. They send
Angel hd
them inside to the security office, where they are issued a numbered ticket.
• As of June 1, 2009, all USCs must have a passport (or passport card if traveling by
land).
• New CDJ Inquiry form on their website – seems to be working pretty well. If they
can’t answer the question right away, they send an email that they are researching
the case and will get back to you.
• To reschedule an IV, you must call the CDJ Call Center.
• If you have Qs about a pending I-601, you must contact Warren Janssen’s unit directly
(cdj.uscis@dhs.gov).
• CDJ prefers that applicants NOT pay in cash. They would rather the applicants pay
The Usual Suspects ipod
with U.S. Postal Service money order or Visa/Mastercard/Discover/Diners/American
Express. You can get prepaid credit cards or visa gift cards, and they encourage this.
They will take cash, but prefer not to because of security/safety reasons.
• Medical clinics now accept Visa/Mastercard, either credit or debit cards, and prepaid
international Visa/Mastercards (no Discover card or Diners card)
• Administrative processing can mean all sorts of things. A special team does NIV & IV
admin processing. Once the admin processing is done, check the website for your
case number, and then you can go back to CDJ to the Info Window at the front of the
Consulate.
• Don’t come too early, don’t bring family, don’t bring thumb drives (or any other
electronic device)…look at list of items not allowed in, because if you bring them, you
have two options: 1) return to your hotel to leave the item, or 2) you lose it! CDJ
does not have the capability to hold it for you.
• There is a parking lot across the street in the Centro Comercial. Apparently there are
lockers somewhere over there for rent if your hotel isn’t nearby and you have
belongings that are prohibited from CDJ.
• Fraud Prevention Unit….all FPUs from Mission Mexico (meaning all the Consulates in
MX) now work together. If CDJ has a case in another state in MX, they box up the
case and send it to another Fraud unit that’s closer to do the investigation.
• If your case lands in the FPU and it’s a birth issue, CDJ likes to speak with the birth

mother. Communicate w/CDJ to schedule an IV for the birth mother to come in and
speak with a Consular Officer. (FPU schedules appt.)
Roger Rigaud, Director of NIV Unit said:
• CDJ still processes some Third Country Nationals when renewing H/L/Es, but no more
new Es for TCNs.
• Mission Mexico comprises of 11 U.S. Consulates
• Several big changes:
o Switch to DS-160 (since 1/20/09) – responses MUST be in English, must
complete form as thoroughly as possible, only need to bring confirmation
sheet to NIV. Are still working out the bugs in this form.
o Shift to Applicant Service Center (ASC – the location of the old US Consulate).
Right now they have a next-day policy, meaning go in for biometrics at ASC on
one day and have NIV the next day. Soon will do same day service. $26 for
photo/IV/DHL. Take to NIV: receipt for $26 and receipt from Banamex for
$131 NIV fee. Computer Sciences Corp runs ASC. Call CSC to schedule appt
for biometrics. Appt takes 9-15 minutes, so applicants can do it on their lunch
hour or before or after work. Hours of ASC are 7 AM to 6 PM.
o Administrative Processing: see more info above in Laura Dogu’s section.
o NIV also use the pass back system (DHL), so when the applicant goes to the
ASC for biometrics, he/she checks in at the DHL counter to leave an address
where the DHL packet can be sent. Right now, it’s only within Mexico.
Santiago Burciaga, Director of IV Unit said:
• Now have Courier (DHL) pass back of docs. Pay DHL after waiver IV and leave
Consulate. DHL can only deliver to two DHL offices in CDJ at the moment, but they
are working on opening up more options, like to the applicant’s home in MX. DHL’s
800 number tells them which of the two DHL offices in CDJ has their docs.
• Two medical clinics – one at old location, and one at new location. 8-10 doctors and 2
panel psychologists at each one. Are building new medical clinic directly behind the
Clinica Medica Internacional (at the new Consular location), but it’s not open yet. The

Get Smart move

old Medical Clinic will move there once the building is ready. Children ages 2 to 14
must plan to do medical exam FOUR days prior to IV because of TB skin test. TB skin
test must be read in 72 hours, which means that they do not do these exams on
Thursdays since it would have to be read on a Sunday, and they are not open
Sundays. They are open Saturdays though, so they will do child medicals M-W and F.
• If applicant has been arrested, CDJ wants arrest reports AND final court dispositions,
not just the court docs.
• If the applicant is 221(g) (missing docs), and if the Officer doesn’t need to speak with
the applicant again, can just drop off docs at Info Window at the front of the
Consulate, and they’ll get their visa thru DHL pass back.
• See Paul Virtue memo re: 212(A)(9)(c) issues for minors – CDJ is taking a tough line
on these minors, unlike before.
• NVC now does all CDJ’s scheduling for initial IVs.
• If a petitioner who is living in MX legally wants to file I-130 for spouse, must do so at
the U.S. Consulate that has jurisdiction over where he/she actually lives (in MX), such
as MX City, Monterrey, etc. CDJ will accept I-130s if the petitioner lives within their
Eagle vs Shark on dvd
jurisdiction. I-130s filed at the Consulate are usually processed within 30 to 90 days.
They do require evidence from PR that he/she is legally living in MX (such as utility
bills, rent receipts, etc.)
• Check stateside if a child can derive citizenship from a parent before filing the I-130
and proceeding to Consular Processing. Saves the IV unit time!
• I-601 waivers: If the applicant is denied for an IV because of unlawful presence (or
whatever other reason) and qualifies for a waiver, the Consular Officer will give them
written instructions on how to file waiver. Call CDJ Call Center 48 hrs after IV to
schedule the appt. Day of IV: show confirmation sheet to greeters outside, then go
straight to Cashier inside Consular building to pay $545. Then take a number and wait
to talk to FSN (Foreign Service National) who will check waiver packet to make sure it
is complete. The FSN passes the case on to a CIS Officer who will adjudicate the case
the next day. It is currently taking about 4 business days to receive decision by DHL.
• 18 to 20% of cases are found ineligible for an IV
• ~60% are NOT represented by an atty!
• ~85% of petitioners accompany applicant to CDJ (but are NOT let into the Consulate
unless specifically requested for some reason)

The Sicilian

Warren Janssen, Field Office Director for USCIS (I-601 waivers)
• Added 2 new AOs (Adjudications Officers) to Waiver Unit in 2008. Now have a total of
4 AOs.
• There are 9000 to 10,000 pending referred waivers right now!!!
• International Affairs is building new branch office in Los Angeles solely to help CDJ
adjudicate waivers!!!!! Will have 8 new AOs and CDJ will send lots of their pending
referred waivers to LA. In future, the LA office will also support other Posts who need
assistance with adjudicating waivers, so it is permanent.
• As of 6/1/2009, CDJ will send approximately 4000 referred waivers to the Miami
Asylum Office for additional help in adjudicating backlogged waivers. This is just a
temporary solution for just a few months whereas the LA office is permanent.
• LA office will have all new hires. Majority of AOs are asylum officers, and all (including
Miami office) will receive specialized training in adjudicating waivers. Training to start
in a few weeks.
• Goal: process referred waivers within 6 months or less, but might not reach goal until
the end of 2009.
• Best to send translations of any docs not in English since the AOs might not speak
Spanish. They will try to have at least one in LA that speaks Spanish.
• Pilot Program Same Day/Next Day adjudications is permanent fixture now!
• 50% of cases are approved with pilot program.
• Mexico City has been helping adjudicate backlogged waivers. Approval rate is 30%.
• When FSN goes over waiver packet w/applicant, will ask applicant Qs about unlawful
presence dates, and maybe a few other Qs for clarification
• Atty/petitioner will probably NOT be notified if/when case is transferred to LA or Miami

The Limits of Control ipod

• If we need to mail more evidence of hardship, should just continue to send it to P.O.
Box in El Paso, and it should get forwarded on to LA or Miami (wherever case has been
TF’d)
• CDJ processes about 100 waivers per day (with 3 Officers) – not enough to keep up
with demand. That’s why it’s taking several days to receive decision by DHL.
• 2 month backlog before applicant can get waiver IV (from date of IV)
• 19,000 waivers were processed in 2008.
• An atty asked Janssen what constitutes a good waiver, and he was reluctant to
answer, but did give us this:
o Medical issues are typically the strongest factor
o Family ties in the U.S.
o Ability to relocate to Mexico
o Psych evaluations are given some weight (depending on what they cover in
the eval)
o Financial issues (when combined with other factors)
o Psych issues that stem from separation of applicant and USC/LPR spouse are
given less weight than pre-existing psych issues (so if your petitioner has a
history of depression, include supporting docs of this!!)

Requirements for H-1B Beneficiaries Seeking to Practice in a Health Care Occupation

Memorandum

TO: Service Center Directors

• Trilogy of Terror movies

FROM: Barbara Q Velarde /s/

Chief, Service Center Operations

SUBJECT: Requirements for H-1B Beneficiaries Seeking to Practice in a Health Care

Occupation.

• Return to Me

1

Purpose

This memorandum clarifies the standards for adjudicating H-1B petitions filed on behalf of

beneficiaries seeking employment in a health care specialty occupation.

Adjudicators, as a starting point, can consult the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational

Outlook Handbook (OOH) to determine whether the position being offered qualifies as a

specialty occupation as defined by Section 214(i)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act

(INA or Act), consistent with the requirements found in INA 214(i)(2). Adjudicators should be

mindful, however, that in certain instances, other authoritative sources exist that indicate whether

the position in question qualifies as a specialty occupation (e.g., State licensing board standards).

Thus, the OOH is not determinative in all cases. Whenever more than one authoritative source

exists, an adjudicator should consider all of the evidence presented to determine whether a

beneficiary qualifies to perform in a specialty occupation. Specific guidance on health care

occupation standards is included below.

Guidance for Petitions in Which the Beneficiary Is in Possession of a License2

This guidance applies to H-1B beneficiaries in possession of either an unrestricted or a restricted

license to practice a health care occupation in the state of intended employment. If the petitioner

provides documentary evidence that the beneficiary has a valid license to practice a health care

For purposes of this memorandum, “health care occupation” refers to those professions enumerated under 8 CFR

212.15(c)

Doctor Strange

and meet the definition of specialty occupation, as defined at 8 CFR 214.2(h)(4)(ii)(4

).

2

If the beneficiary has a license to practice the health care occupation in a state other

than the state in which he/she

will be working, the adjudicator should refer to the section of this memorandum entitled “Guidance for Petitions in

Which the Beneficiary Is Not in Possession of a License”.

occupation in the state in which the beneficiary will be employed, the adjudicator should not

look beyond the license. The beneficiary will be considered to meet the qualifications to perform

services in a specialty occupation as outlined in 8 CFR 214.2(h)(4)(iii)(C)(3). However, the

petitioner will still need to provide evidence that the beneficiary is admissible under Section

212(a)(5)(C) of the Act.

3

This guidance applies regardless of whether the beneficiary is in possession of a bachelor’s

degree, master’s degree, or doctoral degree in the health care occupation.

If the beneficiary is in possession of an

unrestricted

license, and the petition is otherwise

approvable, an adjudicator should approve the petition for the full H-1B period requested — up to

three years — but may not approve the petition beyond the validity of the labor condition

application (LCA). Please be advised most states require a license to be renewed periodically. If

the beneficiary is in possession of an unrestricted license, the renewal date should not be

considered when determining the validity period of the approval.

If the beneficiary is in possession of a

restricted

license (e.g., license approved except for

• F/X2 rip

mandatory supervised practice), and the petition is otherwise approvable, an adjudicator should

approve the petition for a period of one year, or the duration of the restricted license, whichever

is longer.

4

Guidance for Petitions in Which the Beneficiary Is Not in Possession of a License

In order to perform in a health care occupation, the beneficiary must obtain a license from the

state in which he/she will be working. As such, the beneficiary must meet the licensure

provisions for H classifications.

5

If the petitioner states that the beneficiary cannot obtain a

license to practice the health care occupation in the state in which the beneficiary will be

employed due to the fact that the state’s statutes mandate possession of a social security card

be found to be admissible under Section 212(a)(5)(C) of the Act. If the petitioner fails to provide evidence that the

beneficiary received a certificate from a recognized credentialing organization as outlined in 212(a)(5)(C) of the

Act, the beneficiary may still qualify for classification as an H-1B non-immigrant. If the beneficiary is seeking to

extend status or change status, and the petitioner fails to provide the requisite credentialing evidence, the request for

extension or change of status should be denied as the beneficiary is inadmissible under Section 212(a)(5)(C) of the
