USCIS has announced that it has selected all winners of the H-1B lottery for fiscal year 2009. The winners should have received receipts by mid-June.

It is a sad commentary that so many U.S. businesses will be left out in the cold for yet another year, costing our economy thousands of jobs for U.S. workers which are created by the employment of H-1B workers. Our readers should contact their Congressman and tell their personal story of hardship as a result of the annual 14-16 month blackout on H-1B visas.
