The CIR draft outline from April 29th includes a provision to provide green cards to all Master’s degree or Ph.D degree holders from accredited universities a green card right away as soon as they have a job offer. How on earth did we go from 10+ year wait to that!! This is worse than the [...]

Managing your immigrant careers

Career planning is hard for everyone. But if you are an immigrant, you just added a whole extra layer (triple fat extra mozzarella cheese one at that) of confusion and rules that you are gonna have to navigate around.
Take for instance, the AC21 nightmare that restricts you to same or similar jobs. Or stupid H4 [...]

Start a business while waiting for your green card

There are plenty of us that got into the green card waiting line in 2007 or earlier. To me, it feels like it just happened, but it’s almost 3 years!! And we’re still in line, which hasn’t moved an inch. Many of us have an EAD (employment authorization document) as a result of being in [...]

CNN.com saysThe real problem for Americans is NOT the recession

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT POST. Read the part at the bottom about embracing high performing immigrants. I hope every American out there reads this and wakes up to the call of reality!!

What to do when you are on H4 status?

The fact that H4 visa holders cannot work in the US is not only unfair, I think it borders on human rights violation.
