 Send to email | Looking For Foreign Workers? Time To Play The Waiting Game in General |  By Silicon
el 09-Apr-2008 |
Immigrants: Paste this image in your site, Myspace, Facebook, Ebay copy this code...
Tech companies (and others) will be getting any infusion of 65,000 skilled immigrant workers soon -- but they don't know who those workers are, or how many they're getting. In fact, they don't even know when they'll know those things.
What we do know: if you haven't applied for your work visa yet, you've got to wait another year. The five-day lottery the USCIS opened up last week is over, but winners won't be announced until... sometime soon. A total of 85,000 visas are given out each year, but 20,000 are reserved for foreigners getting advanced degrees in the U.S. This is not enough for tech companies, especially Oracle and Microsoft, who would like to see the quota moved back to the post-boom high of 195,000.

| Bidenmania | | If you've been Biden your time, waiting for Obama to announce his VP nominee, your wait is over. Joe Biden (D-MBNA) will be kicking Dick Cheney out of the Naval Observatory shortly.
I guess I see the logic. He's a bulldog, has foreign policy experience, and his age makes him unlikely to run for the Presidency in 2016, assuming he's the incumbent VP at that point. That leaves the fiel [..] Read complete article | | Published 23-Aug-2008 by Thoughts in Policy and Politics
