The below extract from
www.immigration-law.com mentions of section 801 and 802 of s.1932 while the posts on this forum have talked of section 8001 and 8002. Who is correct?
12/12/2005: Distinguished Senators and Representatives of the House
As the Senate reconvenes today and you are scheduled to initiate the compromise process for the S. 1932, we urge each of you to take a look at the importance of foreign scientists and engineers for the future of your own state by reviewing the attached statistics. Currently the foreign professional scientists and engineers are unable to apply for the H-1B visa unless they have earned a U.S. master's or higher degree. Early this year, the Congress assigned special 20,000 numbers for these U.S. earned foreign professionals, but these numbers are expected to run out shortly and the U.S. employers will not be able to hire any of these critically needed foreign scientists and engineers until October 1, 2006. You do not have to be a rocket scientist to understand the seriousness of the current situation for the U.S. businesses and employers in the high-end industry. It is more an issue of challenge for the U.S. businesses and employers to survive in the severe competition in the global economy than the issue of immigration of foreign workers. Our country needs them for our own national interest more than they need us for their immigration to this country. With due respect, we urge you to agree to the Sections 801 and 802 of the Senate version of S. 1932.
