Recently, I posted wondering why I haven’t been hearing about Congressional and Senatorial public meetings and today I found two that are coming up. Good.

There is NEW immigration legislation before Congress. How will it affect business and employment?
Special guest Congressman Capuano recently introduced immigration reform legislation, known as the ‘BRAIN Act’ to provide visas for certain advanced STEM graduates. In addition, a huge immigration bill known as the ‘I-Squared Act of 2015’ includes major immigration reforms, extending beyond the President’s proposals. Rep. Capuano will explain what’s happening in Washington, DC around immigration policy and how you can influence the process and help get these reforms passed!
Immigration attorney Roy Watson will explain how these changes will affect immigration options and outcomes for employers and skilled foreign nationals seeking to live and work in the United States.
