1. COMMENT

Victory For Immigration Advocates

Thanks to an effective and innovative grassroots campaign by
Immigration Voice, a pro-immigration advocacy organization,
active leadership by Rep. Zoe Lofgren, and litigation pressure from immigration attorney community, USCIS/DOS have withdrawn
their unprecedented reversal on a previously published visa
bulletin. What wider lessons should immigration advocates learn
from this victory?

We welcome readers to share their opinion by writing to
mailto:weeklyeditor@ilw.com.

6. LETTERS

(a) Dear Weekly Editor:
I truly hope that with Microsoft choosing to open a facility in
Canada sends a clear message to the government - the immigration
system is broken. I am a UK citizen, I lived in the US for 16
years, most of it after over staying a J1 visa, I consulted
numerous attorneys, spent many thousands of dollars in legal
fees trying to change the law - we took the fight through the
9th Circuit Court of Appeals and lost - I ended taking
"voluntary departure" August 1st 2006. I have paid taxes to
the US government every year I lived there, I have my MBA, I
was given accolades from a fortune 500 company for my excellent
work, there was no avenue for me to stay or return...The
company I worked for applied for an H1B visa, along with the
hordes of others on April 1st - sorry you did not get in the
lottery. I have hit a brick wall.... The USA is home to me,
I could stay in the UK, it's not that bad but my family is in
the US, my partner and step son are in the US - I am *** - my
family ties are not recognized...I am just trying to live a
quiet life with the woman I love. Maybe we can wait the years
until my step son is old enough that his father doesn't have a
say in where he lives and then my partner can move to England...
in the meantime... The US Immigration laws are broken... If
Microsoft and a host of other companies take their business
elsewhere then maybe the government will listen, as it is
apparent money is the only commodity of use on Capital Hill...
please business people keep leaving leaving the US and please
take the jobs overseas - and the money the Microsoft employees
earn over seas, and the taxes etc. etc...money and business is
our only hope of fixing the broken system as business and money
is all the government will listen too.

Tracy Matthews
