國會11月15日召開會期討論H-1B名額問題

大選已經結束，國會將於11月15日召開短暫的會期。對於還在等待H-1B名額的人，這將是最後的一次機會國會有所行動。目前國會大概只收到6千多份有關於H-1B增加名額的信件。我們建議大家多做努力，這是與大家前途利益攸關的事，請不要吝嗇自己的時間。我們下面印出美國律師協會的指示，如何與國會議員聯絡：

1) Keep up the pressure for exempting Master's and PhD graduates from U.S. Universities through Contact Congress

You can also contact Memebers of Congress directly by phone (202-224-3121)

2) Provide examples: Example of how companies use the H-1B program are the "proof" that demonstrate why relief is critical. Send example of how your clients are using H-1B visas,including anonymous examples(e.g. a bio-research firm in Ohio) to Joanna Hedvall at AILA(jhedvall@aila.org).Be sure to include the company's location (city,state) and industry.

3) Reach out to Memebers of Congress and the media: Make appointment for you and your clients to talk with your Senators and Representatives. Submitting op-eds to the local media also drives home the message for the need for H-1B visas. See the InfoNet at
