The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had previously issued a signature policy memorandum that would require signatures by an authorized company representative on all forms and letters for cases filed by the company.? This would remove a company?s ability to have forms and letters signed by outside counsel pursuant to a power of attorney letter.
For now, companies can continue to have forms and letters signed by authorized outside counsel, as USCIS has temporarily withdrawn its recent policy memorandum that would have required that signatures come from company representatives.? However, USCIS is expected to reissue a revised memorandum with future implementation date in the near future.
