Ideally, people with a <a href="http://eb5central.com" rel="nofollow">green card visa</a> would be spread out. But then again, if these companies were the ones that filled out apps properly and timely, then there might be no grounds for disputing the concentration of skilled immigrants.Horace Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702910874304447536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174163417312140150.post-59786880318147878922009-06-13T14:08:49.032-07:002009-06-13T14:08:49.032-07:00Intersting that some of these 'commenters'...Intersting that some of these 'commenters' use broken English that is almost unreadable. How professional!!<br /><br />I happen to live in the Harrisburg area & my job was outsourced to a green card holder. I was good friends with this person but he didn't know what he was doing when I worked with him. He was given my position working with a client that I had developed a very good working relationship with. Needless to say, the client was not very happy with his 'level' of service & eventually terminated the contract. I'm sure this happens all over.<br /><br />I'm also familiar with a mail-order prescription drug company in Mechanicsburg, PA that hired 35 H1-B workers from a local bodyshop & zero American workers when they started up operations. Now they are hiring additional workers for help-desk positions. Yes the Harrisburg area is a major outsourcing market & getting worse by the month thanks to people like Ed Rendell & newspapers like the Patriot-News.<br /><br />Have a great day..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174163417312140150.post-31938476832228947512009-05-01T18:48:00.000-07:002009-05-01T18:48:00.000-07:00"The LCAs reveal that the CEO is SIVARAMA KARISHNA..."The LCAs reveal that the CEO is SIVARAMA KARISHNA GOGINENI - sounds Indian to me."<br /><br />What?????

Actually if any increase in H1b numbers is done there should be strict provision that American jobs are not displaced. Otherwise H1b should not increase. There is an argument that H1b work force is less than 1% of US labor. That is distorted figure. They have to take how many percentage of High tech industry. Also every year 140k persons awarded green card out of 100k H1bs. So the percentage of H1b will be always less than 1%. But real staticics can be get by seeing how many new jobs are created for past 10 years and in that how many foreigners are added every year by calculating H1b and Green card persons for last 10 years. That will give real pictureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174163417312140150.post-52000041243568876772007-11-11T22:58:00.000-08:002007-11-11T22:58:00.000-08:00Kim,Are you claiming that PG is not a special inte...Kim,<BR/><BR/>Are you claiming that PG is not a special interest group?
