A WAY FORWARD FOR IMMIGRATION REFORMby James A. O'Malley and Lelia Ruckenstein
Immigration is a divisive subject, probably even more so than health care reform.
Look at the state of Arizona, which passed its own immigration law. This is like New Jersey issuing its own passports. Sounds ridiculous but this is what happens after years of Congressional inaction.
On July 6, 2010, the Department of Justice sued in Federal court challenging...

Citizenship of the U.S., like citizenship of Ireland, can be passed on from a parent to a child who is born in a foreign country under certain circumstances.
For many years Irish people were not aware of this section of U.S. law. At best, people born in Ireland to U.S. citizen parents thought they might be eligible for a green card under the family preference category, or if they were eligible for U.S...

WILL I QUALIFY FOR AN H-1B VISA ON APRIL 1ST?
A few weeks ago I wrote an article about the various types and categories of US employment visas.
