US Universities and H-1B Applications

Dear Friends,

People from around the world come to study at the great institutions of higher learning in the United States and this week, my son – soon to be a college student – and I visited Harvard, Columbia, Tufts, New York University and many many more. International experience, such as work opportunities in China, campuses in France and study abroad for over 50% of all students, was emphasized by all of the schools. You know the world is interrelated when, at Columbia University on Broadway in New York City, an admissions officer, born in Mexico, shares the responsibility for selecting students from applicants representing all 50 of the United States and over 70 countries. Is the world getting smaller? Or are the opportunities getting bigger?

H-1B Applications

As of April 9, the USCIS had received approximately 42,000 H-1B petitions for the 65,000 slots available. They are still accepting applications.

This week we have Work and Travel opportunities for students.
