A hearing today illustrates why tech groups are blocked on this issue
June 12, 2008 (Computerworld) WASHINGTON -- When U.S. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) led a U.S. House hearing today on bills that would make it easier for highly educated foreign tech workers to stay in the U.S., she had almost everything she needed to make her case. Underscore the word almost.
At the hearing, Lofgren's legislative effort was backed by the leading professional engineering group, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE-USA); the Semiconductor Industry Association; and an academic group, the Association of International Educators.
What Lofgren didn't have was the support of everyone on her Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship and Refugees, Border Security and International Law.
"I think we should give the high-tech industry the innovators they need," said fellow committee member Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.). But what do lawmakers tell foreign workers who labor on farms and apply pesticides -- that "you're not really smart?"
Gutierrez called farm workers "just as critical and relevant to the innovation of that industry" as tech workers are to IT innovation. And he urged the committee to take a "holistic approach" to immigration so that the most vulnerable "are not stigmatized by actions of the Congress."
Gutierrez' argument encapsulated why efforts to raise the caps on H-1B visas and green cards face a difficult time in Congress. Last year's failed attempt at immigration reform has turned the issue into an all-or-nothing fight for many lawmakers, which has so far stymied efforts by tech groups to win support for expanding the H-1B cap. The outlook for Lofgren's effort is uncertain at best.
She recently introduced three bills intended to make it easier for U.S. firms to hire graduates of U.S. universities who earn a degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. One bill, HR 6039, would exclude these graduates from the annual 140,000 limit on skills-based employment visas. A companion bill was introduced earlier this month in the Senate by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Judd Gregg (R-N.H.).
In response to Gutierrez' argument, Edward Sweeney, who chairs the Semiconductor Industry Association's Semiconductor Workforce Strategy Committee and is vice president of worldwide human resources at National Semiconductor Corp., said his industry is dealing right now with the loss of "job creating talent."
Every day, said Sweeney, foreign graduates are returning home, where they create jobs "to compete against us." Gutierrez countered by describing the threat of deportation or the risk of jail facing an undocumented worker in a meatpacking plant.
Stating the case for the IEEE was Lee Colby, an electrical engineer and 36-year employee of Hewlett-Packard Co. who now runs his own circuit design consulting company. "At this point, it's difficult to get enough engineers in the United States to staff our research and development labs," said Colby, calling that situation "somewhat pitiful."
He continued: "We definitely need talent from overseas to correct this situation."
The only person on the panel called to testify in opposition was Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, who argued that highly skilled workers are not really that highly skilled.
"Contrary to the claims of the lobbyists, these workers aren't necessarily the best and brightest," said Krikorian, citing a study by Norman Matloff, a computer science professor at the University of California at Davis.
But Sweeney said the semiconductor industry applies for up to 4,000 green card workers a year and he said those workers, many with masters degrees and above, "are crucial" to product research. "They are making north of $100,000 a year," he said.

My spouse and I are on L1/L2 visa.
In 2002 there was a law change and the L2 visa holders got the right for EAD, valid until expiry date of the current L1/L2 visa. Renewal of the EAD was relatively easy when the new L1/L2 visa was issued. The tricky thing is that after expiration of the L visa, while waiting for LC approval we can get only 1 year H1 extensions. This means that during the period between L1/L2 visa and submitting of I-485 the EAD will be cancelled.
Following the common sence, the L2 visa holder should still be able to get EAD for the period between L and I-485. We will find it out in half a year time when our last L visa expires. But I would not bet on it...
So, my hint is - why not push for a similar approach being applied for immigrants waiting for LC approvals (after 365 days), for I-140, I-485 etc. It makes sence since the enormous delay in GC process was caused by the US bureaucracy and the poor idiots like us deserve some relieve :-)

Hi everyone, just had an AC-21 question which I was hoping you could help with.
I went to the OneNet link to get the job categories but wanted to get a second opinion.
My current role is computer systems analyst (business analyst) and i might move to a IT project managment role under AC21. There are definitely crossover similarities in both, of course the PM role has more of a leadership aspect to it.
The catagory in Onenet is 11-3021.00 Computer and Information Systems Managers for Project Managers; and 15-1051.00 Computer Systems Analysts for my current role. It shows they are indirectly related throught the Computer Programmer category i.e. 15-1021.00 Computer Programmers.
Is this acceptable for AC21? Please advise.

Was this is a change in the procedures of USCIS? If yes, could we not request them to increase the length of the EAD from 1 to 5 years? This will help many of us too. I need to get my DL renewed every year along with the EAD.

Dear Mercies,
IV is a registered Non-profit Organization and for your kind information lobbying is not illegal in United States of America. What is illegal for a non-profit organization is to contribute to the election campaigns.
IV is in no way in the business of contributing to any election campaign. IV has hired a well-known reputed Public affairs firm who can voice our concerns in the legislative circles of this country so that they can be taken care of and this is perfectly legal in this U.S.A. Lobbying is just another word to represent put your issues in front of lawmakers. Now, to have a professional & effective representation one needs to hire a Professional of repute which is what IV has done by hiring QGA.
If you want to help this cause and have questions which are not being addressed then why don't you pick up the phone and give IV a call and also suggest the same to other folks who share similar sentiments
I hope this will help in clearing some of your doubts regarding legality of lobbying or hiring of a lobbying firm.

Hi all,
... did not inform him while leaving his company and joined another job...
No matter how bad an employer is, one should inform before quiting...atleast one day in advance!
Bring IRS in to picture, let them deal these kind of cases...U should be OK in getting W2
Don't worry about losses and cases, it will cost him more if he gos to court.

Hi folks in California,
So far we've had meetings with the staff of 3 lawmakers. They were all pretty interesting meetings. There's much to do and so few of us to do it.
Its great being part of a small foused group...that is walking the talk.
Even if you've never done it before, please sign up here, and join our regular conference calls.

Hi Anna,
I see your point. You want to keep the momentum and keep
striking the iron when its hot.
But lets give the IV core and volunteers a few nights of good
sleep. They have all been working really hard and deserve this.
I am sure they have a strategic roadmap for us..
You know that's my point. do you really think we can't do nothing more?.....
we are highly sklilled smart and great immigrants creating the new America of the 21st century we can't just say, thats it lets wait.....
This country is about money, and we have the tremendous advantage that elections are coming, lets see the big picture.. why dont we jump to the next level from street protesters to work with one of the candidates or 2 or 3 , if they see money they will push our cause. Lets work on that now...
So those guys who attended the hearings or met with senators. what was the result? what did they accomplished? did they get the opportunity to participate with the senator or law maker in an action plan? or we just wasted that opportunity asking for autographs? please those guys post your comments.
I'm no negative just wondering how to measure the success of the rally?
