M****g 发帖数: 40 | 1 Dear XXXX:
Thank you for your letter in support of making more employment-based U.S.
visas available for highly-skilled foreign workers. I appreciate knowing
your views on this matter.
Employment-based visas to the U.S. are significantly oversubscribed, which
has created long wait times for individuals who have had their visa
applications approved and are only waiting for a visa to become available.
I recognize the patience of individuals who have followed the rules and
appreciate hearing your support for making more visas available for workers
in highly-skilled trades.
As you may be aware, visas are made available to approved applicants in
order of the date on which applications are filed and according to an
applicant's relationship to the person who petitioned for their visa. I
encourage you to review the U.S. State Department's most recent Visa
Bulletin for detailed information on visa availability. This can be
accessed online at: http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html.
Please know that I am committed to passing comprehensive immigration reform,
including improvements to reduce wait times and ensure that our visa
programs are able to meet critical labor shortages in the United States. I
also believe reforms should provide adequate protections for qualified
Americans who are out of work.
Again, thank you for your letter. If you have any additional questions or
concerns, please do not hesitate to be in touch with my Washington, D.C.
office at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.
Sincerely yours,
Dianne Feinstein
