USCIS has announced that it is moving the existing online payment for the USCIS Immigrant Fee to its Electronic Immigration System (USCIS ELIS).

I-94 Automation Now Effective
April 30, 2013
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced that the automation of Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record is now effective. The change will be implemented at air and sea ports beginning April 30. With I-94 automation, visitors will no longer need to fill out a paper form when arriving to the U.S. by air or sea, where applicable. Instead, records of admission will now be generated using traveler information already transmitted through electronic means. Travelers wanting a hard copy or other evidence of admission can access this information online and print a copy of an I-94.
Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver: USCIS Reminds Applicants On Evidence of DOS Fee Payment
April 30, 2013

USCIS has reminded applicants that it cannot accept a Form I-601A unless it includes evidence that the applicant has paid the Immigrant Visa Application Fee to DOS.
H-2B Wage Methodology Interim Final Rule Published
April 25, 2013
On April 24, 2013 DOL and DHS published a joint Interim Final Rule that revises the prevailing wage methodology used by DOL to calculate certain prevailing wages paid to H-2B workers and U.S. workers recruited in connection with an H-2B Application for Temporary Employment Certification. The new Interim Final Rule eliminates the use of four-tier wage rates based on OES survey and replaces them with the OES arithmetic mean. The new Wage Methodology also applies to employers who have already received a temporary employment certification and currently employ H-2B workers. H2B Employers will be responsible for providing wages that comply with the Interim Final Rule for all work performed on and after the date the employer receives a supplemental determination from DOL.
H2B Cap Count Update
April 24, 2013
USCIS has updated the count of H2B visa petitions received and counted towards the H2B cap for the fiscal year 2013 employment. As of April 19, 2013, USCIS has approved approximately 14,713 beneficiaries for the 2nd half of FY 2013.
