The US Federal Court of Appeals – known as the Ninth Circuit – recently ruled that H1B visas can be issued to computer programmers after confirming ‘speciality status’. In 2017, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had revoked speciality status for computer programmers, which made them eligible for H1B visas.
The appellate court has now deemed the USCIS’ decision ‘random and unstable.’ The Federal Court of Appeals’ ruling comes following a case concerning Innova Solutions, which was seeking to hire Indian national, Dilip Dodda, as a Programmer Analyst, but Dodda’s application for an H1B visa was refused.
Under current legislation, US employers looking to sponsor a H1B visa worker must confirm that the job role they are trying to fill requires ‘theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge.’

Richard Adams and Anthony Sullivan (YouTube/PBS)
Anthony Sullivan, who fought for marriage equality for more than 40 years, died at his home in Hollywood.
He met his husband Richard Adams at a gay bar in Los Angeles in 1971.
In 1975, they managed to get a marriage license from a county clerk who was issuing them to same-sex couples. Part of the reason they wanted to officially marry was because Sullivan needed a green card.
Sullivan was an Australian citizen, and the Immigration and Naturalisation Service (INS) found out that he was going back and forth to Mexico to keep his tourist visa status.
