1. COMMENT
Lawmakers Criticize Immigration Backlog
Associated Press reports that "A deluge of immigration
applications in the months preceding a filing fee increase last
year should have been foreseen, lawmakers on Thursday told Bush
administration officials. Previous increases in immigration
application fees have been preceded by spikes in applications,
said Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. Application increases have also
been seen in years before elections because people want to vote,
she said. Some 1.4 million people applied for naturalization in
the 2007 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30."

3. Items
(a) Making The H1-B Visa Quota -- USCIS Begins Accepting H1-B
Visa Applications On April 1, 2008
Karen-Lee Pollak writes "On April 1, 2008, the United States
Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) begins accepting H1-B
visa applications for the 2009 fiscal year. Last year, the
USCIS reached its H1-B visa quota in one day. It is likely that
the USCIS will also reach its H1-B cap for the 2009 fiscal year
soon after April 1, 2008."
