LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
The most important new legislation introduced this week is Rep. Lamar Smith’s H-1B bill, which we discuss in detail at http://www.visalaw.com/00mar/5mar100.html. A bill was also introduced that would make the Visa Waiver Pilot Program Permanent. This bill is cosponsored by Rep. Smith and Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, the ranking Democrat on the House Immigration Subcommittee. We will have further details on this bill in our next issue.
