President’s mention of immigration near the end of his State of the Union address:
“We should continue the work of fixing our broken immigration system to secure our borders, enforce our laws and ensure that everyone who plays by the rules can contribute to our economy and enrich our nation.”
Nice speech … for those who still [...]

The fact that H4 visa holders cannot work in the US is not only unfair, I think it borders on human rights violation. For a developed country like the US, full of immigrants, such a restriction is unimaginable. I would equate it to putting someone in prison - mentally. We hear about green card process [...]

Happy New year 2010 to ALL!
I have been working since June 2003 as a computer system administrator for a fortune 500 company on a H1B EB3 visa. I hold a Bachelor degree in Computer Engineering from a US institution. I-140 has been filled and approved and Priority date is June 2007. [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
The H1B cap moved back from 45,800 ton May 29, 2009 o 44,400 as of June 5, 2009. Huh?
Does that mean some people that filed their applications withdrew them? Is that even possible?
Does that mean USCIS rejected some applications as problem filings? But even if they did that, do those not count towards the cap?
Or [...]

Among legal immigrants waiting, there is huge block of people who are in worst possible scenario..
The specific group I am referring to is, the ones which have Labor and I-140 application approved but priority dates are not current.
Given that there is huge backlog (thanks to July-2007), situation for these [...]
This is turning out to be more and more of a heated debate. I am hearing about this from friends and co-workers and of course, being an immigrant, only my closest friends actually reveal their real opinions to me. One of my co-worker friends, an American, thinks it’s a no-brainer that H1Bs should be laid [...]
