The other day, I was looking for links to videos of the Cohen & Grigsby debacle of 2007. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this incident, it caused a minor scandel in the anti-visa community. Essentially, Cohen & Grigsby, a Pittsburgh law firm specializing in providing H1-B services to employers, gave a conference on how the H1-B process works. They took videos of the event and were so proud of how well things went that they posted the videos on the web. It turns out that the videos documented C&G coaching attendees on how to skirt the requirements in the H1-B program that were designed to protect American workers.

When an employer wishes to sponsor an H-1b worker for a green card, they are required to run a few ads in the Sunday newspaper as "good faith" recruitment to demonstrate that no qualified Americans are available for the position.

I have posted the following, and encourage others to post their feedback of how UCSIS can better serve the interests of current U.S. citizens and U.S. workers.

It looks like the lobbying campaign for more H-1Bs and more offshoring to
India is getting underway. An event called the "Synergies Summit" that is
sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the US India Business Council
(USIBC), will be held in Washington DC on June 16-17.

Make no mistake about it -- the purpose of the summit is to promote Indian
immigration to the U.S. and the offshoring of U.S. industries to India. You
can bet the Indians will also use this opportunity to push their nuclear
