This blog is about LEGAL immigrants and the challenges they face. But our close cousins - illegal immigrants have challenges, that many believe are even harder. But the debate about immigration reform is almost entirely about them, and it’s heating up. I don’t carry very many opinions on illegal immigration, because, honestly, I am not [...]
I wrote a post a couple of days ago about Free 15-minute consultations with top immigration attorneys. At that point, I wasn’t if such a service would be useful. I thought it would, but then who knew, right?
Well, thanks for all that took us up on the offer. Three spots for July are already taken. [...]
Thanks to Alpa for reporting this interesting news to us from reputed immigration law site shusterman.com. We’ll see whether their prediction turns out to be true or if this was just a rumor. If this is true, EB-2 India cutoff date will extend into 2006! That’s quite an advance and was unexpected to happen until [...]
I don’t really trust that he’s going to actually get CIR done in 2010. No chance in my opinion. But I do think it shows that Mexican Leaders and the Hispanic Caucus is putting pressure on him to address it. We’re watching, Mr. Obama.

Obama sounds like a hardened politician. The remark about wanting to BEGIN the CIR in 2010 means he obviously doesn’t want to pass it this year before the elections in November. He wants to do it next year and that can be a disaster if the Democrats don’t continue to keep a significant majority at [...]
The recent draft CIR bill that the Senate Democrats introduced includes some VERY VERY helpful clauses for STEM graduates from US Universities. I wrote about that last week and someone asked me - what the heck is STEM.
It’s simply Science Technology Engineering Math. These are the areas where US has shown a demonstrated shortage of [...]
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 [...]
Read this excerpt from the April 2010 Visa Bulletin
Explains RETROGRESSION, Basis of diversity based visas and over-subscription well. It’s good background for all those of you waiting in the 7% country quotas that MAKE NO SENSE. That’s like saying all employers in the country should provide employment based on race.
