Immigration Seminar - helpful?

Greetings from our library!

It is a day of catching up with school work indeed. Genesis and I just left the immigration seminar because it was just not helpful to us. While i asked the lawyer several questions regarding the status of undocumented students who hold no status whatsoever.... he basically said that we should just pray because the HI-B visa( the worker certification visa- one that would grant you a working visa after you have obtained your bachelors degree and you have an employer willing to sponsor you) is just not valid for you unless you have a status of any kind- that is, if you hold a tourist status for example. So, if you are like me... you have fallen out of status, hold no current companion or tourist visa or anything of the sort then this HI-B visa is no good to you.

I have a hard copy of the power point presentation since our technology died during the presentation in case anyone wants a copy. Let me know and i can get hard copies and give them to you in our next meeting.

Yes, nothing new we didn't know was explained to us. We left however knowing some information that we didn't know before. Note*** i was a little burned when he praised the guest worker program, all i was thinking is how can he support a "bracero" program. I asked him about the pros and cons of the program, but he failed to answer my questions. Maybe i was a little jumpy though, i couldn't believe his words.

Kuddos to Rebecca who hosted us with refreshments. I saw some Jóvenes there, so i am glad that you all found this more helpful to you... maybe- i hope so.

It has been a rough week--- but i have some news i am just supposed to hold on to until Monday morning. They are great news actually.... keep posted!

****One more note**** t-shirts are almost ready, i hope that you like them, they should be ready for the last meeting, so bring your cash:)- Dec 1st. Also, we have a tamale sale that day from 10-2 in PGH.

Peace... No wait... If we don't fight for our DREAM nobody else will!
