For months, the report has been moving your category forward &#8211; some months by 1 week; others by 2 months.

It is rare to find someone who knows what the Visa Bulletin is and rarer still to find someone who knows what it means. One thing I can tell you with certainty is, anyone who claims to be able to predict when a visa is going to be available is lying. No one can. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article is the next in our series on permanent residence processing. In this article, I will discuss the differences between processing for permanent residence or the &#8220;green card&#8221; inside the US and outside the US at the US consulate.
Processing for permanent residence in the US is called &#8220;Adjustment of Status,&#8221; or &#8220;AOS&#8221; for short. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you are an employer, you&#8217;ve probably heard that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement is increasing audits of hiring records. See a recent article here: http://thepacker.com/ICE-announces-more-audits-of-hiring-records/Article.aspx?oid=1308497&#38;fid=PACKER-TOP-STORIES&#38;aid=117. Expect these audits to continue as the US population continues to call for more strict enforcement of immigration law in the US.

		<description><![CDATA[I am frequently asked about Registered Nurses, or RNs, obtaining H-1B visas to work in the US. Surprisingly few people, including attorneys, realize that RN positions as a general rule do not qualify for H-1B. See this memo from November 27, 2002, that clarifies the government&#8217;s position on this issue:

For a position to qualify for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being a Texas attorney, I have serious concerns about Governor Rick Perry&#8217;s discussion about &#8220;Sanctuary Cities&#8221; in Texas. He defines a sanctuary city as one that allows illegal immigrants to live there. Law enforcement officers in those cities do not inquire into a person&#8217;s immigration status. Governor Perry is targeting so-called sanctuary cities to force [...]]]></description>
