Thanks for the logical thinking Hans. We agree with your views on Illegal Immigration and how that’s making life hard for legal immigrants.
http://blog.noslaves.com/ - They are against outsourcing, against H1-B visas, and from what it appears, generally against immigration altogether. I found it interesting that they have such an opinion and a significant number of people seem to agree. Healthy debate is always a good thing. We want the writers at this blog to visit us and [...]
I’ve been trying to think of a list of the top 10 biggest issues that legal immigrants face today. There are hundreds of applications and each and every one of us has a different story. But many of us share the same kinds of worries at some point or the other. I am sure each [...]
The GAO Analysis on USCIS fee increases part 1 and part 2. http://Immigration-law.com reported today:
This Government Accounting Office release relfects that about the USCIS was run on the fees collected from the customers in 2008. Do you remember the whoppy fee increase in August 2007, immediately following the FY [...]
U.S. Senator Charles Grassley from Iowa seems to think so. Read this ComputerWorld report about Microsoft Layoffs. We think that’s ridiculous. Layoffs should be based on one and only one thing - justified business need. This is exactly the kind of protectionist laws that I was talking about in the earlier post about Outsourcing. So [...]
NSC Processing dates - updated January 23, 2009
TSC Processing dates - updated January 23. 2009
I-140 dates have moved and this time, for a change, we do think that the dates reflect reality for the most part. But the discrepancy between TSC and NSC remains and the wait continues to be around 15 months - way [...]

usually jobs related to the IT in industries such as Software development, Manufacturing, Health Care, Etc. Some of them were originally working for (or still work for) companies such as Infosys or TCS in India [...]

Most of the readers and authors of this blog are immigrants to the US. We all have a story, don’t we? The idea
that United States is the land of opportunity and education/work there is something I should aim for, was planted quite early on in my head. My parents regularly pointed out other kids that [...]
I was just thinking of a way to help the US economy uplift itself by filling its coffers and helping States such as mine (MA) from economic turmoil.
