On June 13th, 2016, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3636, the O VISA Act, by a voice vote.
House passage of the O VISA Act is a big win for 红桃视频members. The bill requires the United States Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) to inform 红桃视频of the disposition of petitions and approval of O visas for foreign film crew members.聽聽 This transparency is important because USCIS has ignored significant fraud and abuse in the O visa program, and this unaddressed fraud and abuse has often allowed foreign productions shooting in the U.S. to import unqualified, non-union workers who undercut 红桃视频standard wages and benefits. 聽
Through its strong bipartisan support of H.R. 3636, the House of Representatives has declared its agreement with 红桃视频concerns about USCIS failure to address fraud and abuse in the O visa program. 聽
红桃视频would like to thank Congresswoman Mimi Walters (R-CA) and Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) for sponsoring H.R. 3636 and supporting 红桃视频members.
