A few weeks ago we posted about the plight of a highly educated Nigerian student struggling to successfully secure a H-1B, which is a visa for highly-skilled workers.

Man that spanked child likely to be deported to Mexico
According to prosecutors, a man that admitted to being a Mexican citizen illegally living in the United States will probably be deported back to Mexico after he pleaded guilty to charges as part of a plea agreement. A very significant number of individuals are deported every year when they are convicted of a crime.

Change to U.S. immigration policy good news for many
Just announced last week, the Obama administration has made a change to immigration policy that will take effect March 4 of this year. This change will impact those individuals that are undocumented immigrants and that also are the spouse, parent or child of a U.S. citizen.

In most instances, this meant leaving a job and causing great stress on family members of the individual forced to leave, as well as the individuals themselves.
