I had a small, Twitter-hosted dustup recently with Trevor Loy, a pleasant fellow who, when he is not Twittering, brings truth and justice to the world via the agency of venture capital. Loy was hot and bothered over some turn of events in Congress having to do with immigration policy. Many entrepreneurs are immigrants, you [...]

Widely believed as one of our last hopes for a reduction in the often decade long wait for permanent residency, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) bill might come back into life early in 2010.
#3 on Obama’s Presidential campaign promises for top goals for his presidency, the CIR had taken a back seat under the weight [...]
Most people that I have talked to about their new website and the new initiatives to re-design the technology behind the immigration system over the next 4 years, seem positive on it. However, when I bring up the fact that such overhaul costs millions of dollars and USCIS runs on application fees from immigrant petitions, [...]
I reported about the new USCIS website launched September 22 yesterday. Looks like that wasn’t all.
A friend and fellow endlesswaiter forwarded me this piece that you’ve got to read -Q&A on pending I-485 applications. The report at the bottom of this page shows the exact number of EB3 immigrant applicants from India that are waiting [...]
This guy, founder of Euro Pacific Capital, speaks with TheStreet.com’s Gregg Greenberg about the dollar, US economy and outsourcing. This guy’s views make sense to me.
Regarding outsourcing, one of the key things he points out is around 3-4 minutes into the video. He says “Outsourcing is not about low cost labor alone. Germany has higher [...]

ComputerWorld reported today that the US govt. sued Vision Systems, an IT firm based in New Jersey for $5 million on 18 accounts of H1-B fraud. The charges appear solid and it is likely that the firm will have to pay, even though their defense attorney disputes all charges on grounds that they believe they [...]
It appears that H1-B stamping at US consulates in foriegn countries is experiencing more-than-usual scrutiny and unncessary delays due to additional security checks. This is especially happening for people that have complications in their case. For instance, H1-B visas for those working 20 to 40 hours per week or H1 transfers within a very short [...]

Spectacular news for EB2 folks. This is the kind of news that I know many were waiting for all year long. And hopefully this will stay at least for a few months so that all EB2 petioners that applied until January 8, 2005 actually get their green cards soon! Most of [...]
USICE announced more audits in one day alone today than it did in all of the previous fiscal year. Employers choosing to hire illegal immigrants or persons without a currently valid employment authorization can get in serious trouble if the audit catches such activity. The biggest risk is to employers that don’t even know that [...]
