As the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) opens for H-1B visa petitions, New American Economy Chairman John Feinblatt states:

“Today tens of thousands of businesses will file H-1B visa applications to get the talent they need to grow and compete globally, but many will be denied that opportunity because of our broken immigration system,” said John Feinblatt, Chairman of New American Economy. “We need policies that welcome the talent our economy requires, while protecting American workers by preventing fraud and abuse.”
