LATEST ON THE VISA BULLETIN LAWSUIT TO BE FILED BY AILF
July 7, 2007 by Bradley Maged.
I inquired with AILF about the class-action lawsuit for the July Visa Bulletin mess. The latest news is that: (1) the suit will be filed soon, (2) plaintiffs do not have to be represented by counsel but will have to complete and submit a retainer agreement to be represented by AILF (of course, if you are represented, participate in the suit through your lawyer), (3) those who would have been eligible to file I-485 applications per the originally published July 2007 DOS Visa Bulletin but who do NOT file WILL be eligible to partake in the lawsuit (a separate questionnaire for such potential plaintiffs should be available through AILF as of early next week).
Please contact AILF (www.ailf.org) or your immigration lawyer for FAQs on the lawsuit and the potential plaintiff questionnaire (both to be updated this week, as well as the retainer agreement.

FORCED TO LEAVE THE US
July 7, 2007 by Bradley Maged.
Today I found two interesting articles that illustrate two very different examples of our dysfunctional immigration system. Microsoft is heading to Canada to open a research center and a five-year-old girl faces deportation in Boston.
As the broken US immigration system continues to cause financial and emotional hardship
for millions of aliens, both legal and undocumented, we pay a price. Companies are unable to being the talent they need to the US due to arbitrary low numerical limitations on non-immigrant work visas or because valuable employees have to face situations such as the July Visa Bulletin fiasco. These companies then resort to either outsourcing or moving their plants or offices overseas. Are these financial losses to the country taken into account when anti-immigrants crunch their numbers? Please see the link to an article from www.vrunet.com about Microsoft opening a research center in Vancouver, Canada because they are unable to hire the foreign talent they require to the US.
On the other side of the spectrum, a five-year old undocumented girl faces removal from the United States to El Salvador and separation from her parents. Please see the link to the Boston.com article.
