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!!
The real problem for most Americans isn’t the recession.
It’s the more ominous fact that average household income hasn’t budged for the past 10 years. That’s true [...]
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.

Hi, my fellow endless-waiters.
I just received the approval notice of my I-140 and found out that the visa in my category was unavailable, and that I might have to wait another 5-6 years before getting my GC. This is crazy. I can’t believe it.
I’d like to know what I [...]
For those that are new to the EB-5, this is one way for foriegn nationals to petition the USCIS for permanent residency by starting a business or acquiring an existing business. However, there are several rules/limitations to the Eb-5 which limits the practicality of this option for most. For instance, the business is required to [...]
Several people in pending-AOS (Adjustment of Status - I-485) status are now getting called for what USCIS terms “initial interviews”.
