We have not noticed a change in H-1B review and approval process since the publishing of the Neufeld H1B Memo regarding H-1B visa and employer-employee relationship. We continue to submit our applications in the same fashion. We have always allocated a portion of our petitions addressing the employer employee relation form a traditional common law approach. In a case from Columbus, Ohio we have received a premium processing approval from the Vermont Processing Center in a record 24 hours. While the memo clearly shows certain flaws in USCIS legal analysis, USCIS continues to approve cases provided end client letters evidencing specialty occupation and petitioner right to control are well documented.
