A Florida judge issued a nationwide temporary injunction preventing the Department of Labor (DOL) from implementing the H-2B Visa program rule. Even though the ruling was issued in Florida, it applies nationwide. Congress has blocked the wage rule until September 30.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it will begin accepting H-1B petitions subject to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 cap on Monday April 2, 2012. Cases will be considered accepted on the date that USCIS takes possession of a properly filed petition with the correct fee. USCIS will not rely upon the date that the petition is postmarked.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is in the post-development testing phase of a new system that will transform its paper-based agency into an electronic, online organization. This is an unprecedented step for the world’s largest and most complex immigration system. To view USCIS Electronic Immigration System (ELIS) – you can log in to this informational video.
Thanksgiving is the time of year when we are reminded of all the things we are grateful for. This year, I am looking forward to my husband's parents ' Thanksgiving dinner. This is a great time of year to enjoy time with family and friends, and of course, watch the Dallas Cowboys.
Thanksgiving is a relatively new holiday for me. It is the holiday of my adopted home and I look forward to passing on all its family traditions to my children. The United States is a place of improbable stories, of lives that never could have been realized anywhere else in the world. I do not believe that my life as a lawyer amd all the possibilities that have grown from my career would have been possible in any other country.
You cannot choose the country where you are born. But a lucky few have the opportunity to choose the country where they live. When I was growing up, I never imagined that one day I woud be an immigrant. The United States has allowed me to shape my future and to assist many others in shaping theirs. Thank you America for giving me this opportunity.
I am so grateful for all the blessings in my life, including each of you-my family, friends, colleagues, and clients. Reflecting on the year, I can truly say that I enjoy my work, I am passionate about the causes I choose to fight, and I cherish the people I get to work with and for.
Happy Thanksgiving to each of you, and thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives.
