May Holidays and H-1B Cap
Posted by admin on May 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Dear Friends,
Here in the United States we don’t generally think of early May for holidays but on the other side of the Pacific, Japan is just now finishing “Golden Week” with its three major holidays and its millions of travelers. On the other side of the Atlantic in France, May 8 is “Victory Day,” celebrating the end of World War II. And in France, Japan, the US and hundreds of other places around the world we all sit down this coming Sunday to honor one of the most important individuals – if not the most important individual – in our country: our mom. Happy Mother’s day to all of the Moms around the world.
H-1B Cap Count
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) continue to accept applications for the H-1B, which allows international professionals in a specialty occupation, to work in the US. As of May 4, USCIS has received 45,000 applications toward the cap of 65,000. For more information see:

This week, for just a while longer, we will be accepting new applications for our wonderful Midwest water-parks.
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.
