A Note from the Editors:
ILW.COM has made changes to the home page. We have organized the
"immigrants and employers" section under three major headings: Ask a question, Search for information, and Get
immigration help. ILW.COM has a wealth of immigration resources. We hope these changes will allow you to take
full advantage of what we have to offer. Comments and suggestions are welcomed
at editor@ilw.com.

| Letter To The Editor |
Dear Editor,
I currently am engaged as an Immigration Legal Assistant in a large Law Firm in
Pittsburgh. How I arrived in this position is probably fairly typical of those from abroad who enter the United States innocently and then become enmeshed in the snare of the Act.
I left Northern Ireland in 1981 after the death of my spouse to visit the United States on vacation.
After a couple of months in the U.S. I was assured by well intentioned friends and relatives that I could simply 'stay' in America and equally simply file for and obtain a Green Card, and everything would be 'just wonderful'.
As you can imagine it was not quite that simple.
.…..More
Thanks.
Patrick J. Corr

JOBS.ILW.COM
As the hub for immigration information, ILW.COM provides JOBS.ILW.COM to meet the needs of immigrants visiting the site and
employers who employ them. Jobs for Immigrants is a place for immigrant job
seekers to post resumes and for companies that are willing to sponsor immigrants to post jobs and search for potential employees.
Immigration law and employment are intimately intertwined and a persistent reality for the employment of non-US workers in the US. Attorneys who handle employment based immigration cases may want to include on their webisie a link to JOBS.ILW.COM as a service to both their employer clients and the individuals they hire.
