有關SKIL Bill的信息

By: Beth Robertie, Esq. 在上星期，Senator John Cornyn介紹有關SKIL bill (即為Securing Knowledge, Innovation and Leadership bill) 的內容。此法案對於美國雇主雇用外國專業人士有著重要影響。請看以下有關此SKIL bill的一些信息： In an effort to help America remain competitive in a global economy, Senator John Cornyn introduced the Securing Knowledge, Innovation and Leadership (SKIL) Bill in the Senate last week. This bill is designed to allow US employers to retain highly skilled workers educated in the US by exempting such professionals from the H1B cap and reducing the paperwork burden on employers and workers who have a demonstrated record of complying with US immigration laws. Among other things, this bill: * raises the H1B cap from 65,000 to 115,000 and provides for a base limit increase if the cap is exhausted in a given fiscal year; * creates an uncapped exemption for advanced degree graduates of US institutions; modifies the existing 20,000 cap currently reserved for graduates of US institutions to apply to advanced degree holders from any foreign country; * raises the cap of Employment Based petitions; and * exempts various groups of professionals from the Employment Based caps altogether.

Please note that, while promising, this bill has not been passed by either the Senate or the House, and so may undergo dramatic revisions before it ever becomes a law. 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 (Chinese) www.fanuslaw.com (English) CALIFORNIA : Fan, Fitzpatrick & Thompson, LLP. 370 E.
