    | In June 2020, the USCIS rescinded two policy memos related to the
    | adjudication of certain positions following a settlement with the
    | US-based IT industry body, ITServe Alliance. This came after a US
    | district court instructed the agency to do away with the 'Neufeld
    | Memo' which required petitioners to establish a specific employee-
    | employer relationship. This memo, along with another requiring the
    | submission of an itinerary for the employee, was often used by the
    | immigration agency to reject visa petitions from staffing companies
    | or IT services companies who would often deploy workers at client
    | locations Last month, the agency said that it would conduct a second
    | lottery for the next fiscal as it had not received enough
    | applications to meet the Congressionally mandated cap.

    Will Trump endorse Lee Cissna and Ken Cuccinelli?
