El Proyecto de Ley “Acto del Sueño” (Dream Act) ofrece muchas soluciones

En Diciembre del 2010, el proyecto de ley llamado “Acto del Sueño,” conocido como el “Dream Act,” fue derrotado en la Cámara del Senado del congreso estadounidense, después de que fue aprobado por la Cámara de Diputados. La derrota del proyecto en el senado pareció insólito pero nosotros en la comunidad hispana debemos de aprender de la experiencia y llevar a cabo una campaña más inteligente para llevar a cabo su aprobación en el 2011. Es importante que los ciudadanos hispanos norteamericanos le brindan apoyo a este proyecto comunicándose con el Senador John Cornyn, quien ocupa una posición en el Comité Judiciary del Senado del congreso, una posición sumamente fuerte. Creo que es una persona que necesita conocer a fondo los problemas de la comunidad hispana de Texas. Llamen su oficina y dejen un mensaje que apoyan el proyecto. Pueden conseguir sus números de teléfonos por medio del Internet.

The Secret About NAFTA Professional Visas

The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) offers Mexican and Canadian professionals the opportunity to work in the United States. The category is known as the “TN visa.” The TN visa, however, has been widely ignored by U.S. businesses because they became accustomed to the more cumbersome H-1B visa, another category for foreign professional workers.

What U.S. businesses don’t know is that the TN offers many advantages over the H-1B visa. For instance, the TN visa includes more professions than the H-1B, and there is no time limit whereas the H-1B can be used for up to six years. Another advantage is a fast track feature for Canadian professionals who can apply for the visa at a U.S. port of entry without going through a U.S. consulate.
