USCIS made a very surprise announcement on August 2nd that allows aspiring entrepreneurs to start their single-person startup in the US and at the same time qualify to apply for a green card under the EB2 category or get an H1-B visa. This is for ANYONE out there that qualifies for the H1-B or EB2 [...]
Thanks to some encouragement from people like Roger and Atsushi, we are moving forward, despite everyone’s ultra-busy schedules.
We are almost decided on the new Q&A feature to implement here.

Watch out for more updates on this soon..
The debate is whether to to only allow attorneys to post answers to questions or leave it open…Other forums often have very [...]
CIR was reintroduced in the Senate today. Couldn’t have been timed any worse - with unemployment at 9.1%, talks about a slowing recovery from recession and jobs getting added at a paltry rate of ~50k jobs per month, it’ll be a miracle if it even gets discussed on the floors. Morover, with Republicans controlling the senate, [...]
I could not actually believe it. A close family friend actually got his green card - he was on EB2 firsh a 2006 priority date. It feels as if it’s the first one in years that has got one! Very happy for him….one step closer to freedom.
The EB-2 move in the July bulletin has made if [...]
So I’ve been real busy - like all of us I guess. So hardly any posts off late. Haven’t had much of a chance to post. Some requests for consulatations have kept coming in. The feedback from the attorneys is also that they would rather log in and type in their responses to questions instead [...]
Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid, introduced S.6 bill - COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL - in the Senate to reform America’s broken immigration system, co-sponsored by nine other Senators.
Quite a surprise that they are introducing it this early into the new Congress session. It has LONG way to go and I [...]
EB-3 isn’t moving. At least not for India, China and Mexico. And EB-2 is ahead but prospects are bleak for much progress in 2011. The DREAM act is dead. CIR is all but dead for 2011 and even perhaps 2012 (read previous post) and the Startup Act is not finding takers yet. The latter still [...]
I really did not think this could fail. The act asks that children of illegal immigrants that were brought to the US when they were very young, should get a path to citizenship. The path will include education and serving in the military, among other conditions and will take years to actually get it but [...]
A site that I read almost every day - http://immigration-law.com by our friend Attorney Matthew Oh has published a list of swing voters for the bill today. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH A 5-MINUTE CALL.
THE MOTION TO CLOSURE IS TOMORROW - 12/18/2010
In Matthew’s words:
This is the last chance for immigration advocates and [...]
This is huge. The strongest, most sensible immigration bill that actually has a chance to pass. CIR is all but dead, the DREAM act is still up in the air despite getting passed in the House and strong support from rallies and funding from lobbyists. But a new bill - the Startup Act - was [...]
