President Bush Calls For Congress to Raise the H-1B Cap By: Beth Robertie, Esq. 據最近消息，布什總統已經向國會提出增加H-1B名額的建議計劃。布什總統指出國會應該增加H-1B的名額以使更多專業人才獲得在美工作的機會。在這裏，他並沒有提到要求增加多少名額。到目前為止，國會仍未作出有關表示，但我們期待未來國會會實行布什總統的這項計劃。請大家留意本網站有關最新消息。 In a speech to the 3M Corporation on February 2, 2006 , President Bush called for Congress to raise the H-1B cap. While outlining his American Competitiveness Initiative, President Bush stated “And the problem is, is that Congress has limited the number of H1B visas that can come and apply for a job . . . I think it's a mistake not to encourage more really bright folks who can fill the jobs that are having trouble being filled here in America -- to limit their number. And so I call upon Congress to be realistic and reasonable and raise that cap.” The President did not specify how high the cap should be raised during this particular address. Presently, there is no legislation in Congress to raise the H-1B cap, but hopefully at some point in the future Congress will act on the President’s proposal. Watch this space for more developments in immigration legislation as Congress reconvenes and takes up various pieces of immigration legislation that were discussed before the winter break. ______________________________________________________________________________ 本文由範毅禹律師事務所提供 本律師事務所精辦各類勞工應聘及專業移民申請 (包括H-1，L-1，EB-1，EB-2，NIW，勞工卡，綠卡等申請)。所有申請由多位美籍律師及擁有15年經驗的範毅禹律師親自處理，我所並特設中英移民網站。內有最新移民新聞資訊及由律師主持的移民問答集，歡迎讀者流覽查詢。 www.Fan-Law.com CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
