Good news. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) recently issued guidance on the new H-1B amendment that limits Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) recipients’ ability to hire H-1B workers. The USCIS confirmed that the new H-1B amendment does not apply to H-1B extensions for current employees with the same employer.
"EAWA does not apply to H-1B petitions seeking to change the status of a
beneficiary already working for the employer in another work-authorized
category. It also does not apply to H-1B petitions seeking an extension
of stay for a current employee with the same employer."
