The Final Recommendations For Immigration Actions Are Being Sent To Obama - Page 4

The whole employment thing never made sense to me. When I was in college, my buddy was a star in the software company he worked at and told them about me and they were going to sponsor me (at least that's what he said...I didn't know how complicated it was at the time). I was around 25, bright eyed, bushy tailed and thought everything was going to work out and so I went and told my lawyer and he said to first graduate since the job has to require a college degree.

My final semester was the fall of 2001. I figured hey, I'm 25-26 and at the top of my game, I have a cute girlfriend from my own ethnicity who was born here, there is plenty of talk about immigration reform...things are looking good! Then a certain event happened in the fall of 2001 that changed everything.

I don't want to hijack the topic, but when I went to see my lawyer after graduating, he was scared shitless. "It's bad! Really bad! I can't recommend exposing yourself in any way! One of my clients tried to do something and they arrested him right away. Of course his name as Mohamed and he was from Pakistan, but still. It's bad!" Then the dot com bubble burst...

10 years is okay but 7 years would be more solid just to line it up with the DACA beneficiaries.

Yep, it certainly changed everything.

Now a days as far as employment sponsorship goes, employers are required to obtain labor certification before they can hire you, which entails a series of obstacles. The DOL must certify to the USCIS that there are not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, qualified and available to accept the job opportunity in the area of intended employment and that employment of the foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.

This combined with 9/11 and the economic downturn in recent years make it pretty much impossible unless you possess skills of extraordinary magnitude, in which case you'd probably rather live somewhere better than the U.S. to begin with, or at least i would.

I hope Obama doesn't use executive order instead he should do CIR

10 year sounds fair to me but my ex girlfriend will be left out.

POTW

Hey DA User

It is beyond me how stupid some people are. Seriously bro go and educate yourself a little. CIR can't be "done" with a magic wand. It has to be passed in both chambers of Congress and signed into law.

I'm sure he meant after the election.

Lego, you dont remember DAUser?
