SB 9105: Making it Easier for H1B Visa Holders (Passed)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I can assume sponsorship of this for OSR.


As I see it, this mainly works to reduce red tape and bureaucratic delays and thus regardless of our positions on immigration I think that it is beneficial to move in that direction, though I would point out that often times delays are caused by lack of resources as much as a lack of priority.

I also agree with OSR when he said in the House that this is aimed mainly at retaining talent in the country, which would be beneficial to the economy and job creation overall.

I also want to thank Speaker Jimmy and Sestak for ensuring that this was better formatted and better worded than the original version.

I move for a final vote on this legislation, Senators have 24 hours to object.
