具体变化
美国公民及移民服务局更新《政策手册》，规定在特定条件下可行使裁量权，宽恕非移民因申请人或请愿人无法控制的特殊情况而未能及时提交延期居留或变更身份申请。
核对依据
USCIS, in our discretion and under certain conditions, may excuse a nonimmigrant’s failure to timely file an extension of stay or change of status request if the delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the applicant or petitioner.查看对应正文更新明确特殊情况可包括罢工、停工或其他劳资纠纷导致的工作放缓或停止，或迟交的主要原因是政府拨款中断导致无法获得认证的劳工条件申请或临时劳工认证。
核对依据
extraordinary circumstances may include, but are not limited to, where the delay was due to a slowdown or stoppage of work involving a strike, lockout, or other labor dispute, or where the primary reason for the late filing is the inability to obtain a certified labor condition application or temporary labor certification due to a lapse in government funding supporting those certifications.查看对应正文该政策手册更新落实H-2B工人保护工作组报告中的承诺（见报告第6-7页行动1.1），报告要求国土安全部澄清因工作场所劳资纠纷而在I-94表格所载入境期届满后仍留在美国的工人，不会仅因这些原因在申请后续签证或变更移民身份时受到负面影响。
核对依据
This Policy Manual update addresses a commitment made in the report by the H-2B Worker Protection Task Force (see p. 6-7 of the report – Action 1.1.).查看对应正文The report requires that DHS clarify that a worker who has remained in the United States after the expiration of their period of admission identified in their Form I-94 due to a workplace labor dispute will not be negatively affected solely for these reasons when applying for “a subsequent visa” or a change of immigration status.查看对应正文适用对象
一般规则适用于某些以特定期限入境、或由其请愿人申请延长入境期以继续从事其非移民分类下允许活动的非移民；也适用于某些符合要求、或由其请愿人寻求变更为另一非移民分类的非移民。
核对依据
Generally, certain nonimmigrants present in the United States who are admitted for a specified period, or their petitioners, may request an extension of their admission period in order to continue to engage in those activities permitted under the nonimmigrant classification in which they were admitted.查看对应正文Also, certain nonimmigrants present in the United States, or their petitioners, may seek to change their status to another nonimmigrant classification if they meet certain requirements.查看对应正文条件与例外
一般而言，USCIS不会批准未维持先前所获身份、或该身份在申请或请愿提交日期之前已过期者的延期居留或变更身份；但若满足某些条件，USCIS可行使裁量权宽恕未在授权停留期届满前提交的情况。
核对依据
In general, USCIS does not approve an extension of stay or change of status for a person who failed to maintain the previously accorded status or where such status expired before the filing date of the application or petition.查看对应正文If certain conditions are met, however, USCIS, in its discretion, may excuse the failure to file before the period of authorized stay expired.查看对应正文主要变更
美国公民及移民服务局今日宣布更新其政策手册，规定美国移民局可自行决定并在某些条件下，如果延迟是由于申请人或申请人无法控制的特殊情况，可原谅非移民未能及时提交延期停留或变更身份请求。
该更新澄清，特殊情况可能包括但不限于：延迟是由于涉及罢工、停工或其他劳资纠纷的工作放缓或停止，或者迟交的主要原因是由于支持这些认证的政府资金中断而无法获得认证的劳动条件申请或临时劳工认证。
本政策手册更新涉及H-2B工人保护工作组报告中的一项承诺（见报告第6-7页 – 行动1.1）。该报告要求国土安全部澄清，由于工作场所劳资纠纷而在I-94表格中注明的入境期届满后仍留在美国的工人，在申请“后续签证”或变更移民身份时，不会仅因这些原因而受到负面影响。
虽然美国移民局不签发签证，但我们审理延期停留和变更身份请求。通常，某些在美国境内被允许入境特定期间的非移民，或其申请人，可以请求延长其入境期，以继续从事其被允许入境非移民分类下允许的活动。此外，某些在美国境内的非移民，或其申请人，如果符合某些要求，可以寻求将其身份变更为另一非移民分类。
一般来说，美国移民局不会批准未能维持先前给予的身份或该身份在申请或申请的提交日期之前已过期的人的延期停留或变更身份。然而，如果满足某些条件，美国移民局可自行决定原谅未在授权停留期届满前提交的情况。
