Senator Grassley’s H-1B Enforcement Amendments
It is worth analyzing what kind of H-1B program protections Senator Grassley
seeks in exchange. The text of the proposed amendment — in a barely-
readable legalese — is here. Simply put, Senator Grassley wants to add
the following additional enforcement mechanisms to the H-1B program:
1.LCA Review Expanded. The Grassley amendment adds a review process based on
clear indicators of fraud or misrepresentation of a material fact, in
addition to the current LCA review process (which focuses on completeness
and obvious inaccuracies). As of right now, it is not clear if the review
for “clear indicators” is limited to the attestation elements under the
statute (§212(n)(1)(A)-(D), wages, strike, benefits and notice) or what a
“clear indicator” of fraud or misrepresentation may be.
2.Investigation Triggers Expanded. Currently, there are restrictions on
when DOL can commence an investigation on an H-1B employer. These
restrictions are proposed to be removed by the Grassley amendment.
3.Time Period for Investigations Expanded. Investigations that are not
complaint-driven through the process for private sector LCA complaints will
no longer have to be completed within 60 days under the Grassley amendment.
No time period is identified as the outer limit for when the government must
complete its investigation.
4.Added Compliance Surveys. The Grassley amendment adds grant of authority
to DOL to conduct a compliance survey of any employer who has hired an H-1B
worker.
5.Annual Compliance Audits. The Grassley amendment also adds grant of
authority to DOL to conduct annual audit of any H-1B employer. Furthermore
, such annual audits are mandatory for all H-1B dependent employers.
Conclusion
H.R. 3012 and the proposed changes, if enacted into law, would affect many
employment-based immigration beneficiaries. Not only certain green card
processing times would change (decrease for some, increase for others), but
also many (or all) H-1B employers would face additional scrutiny as a result
of the Grassley amendments. It is very important to stress that neither
H.R. 3012 nor the Grassley amendments are law yet — they are simply a
proposal which has to be voted, in identical form, by both the U.S. House of
Representatives and the U.S. Senate, before being signed into law by the
President.

除了爱尔兰人也可能有程咬金半路杀出来。
修改案参院过了后，可能要举行参众联席会议决定最终以什么文本送交白宫。

能再修改。拿回两院通过。
当然了如果众院可以一字不改得通过参院的版本，就不用开conference了。
