Tip of the Day
Printing From ILW.COM
Technical limitations on our site cause the edge of the text to be cut
off some pages when printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper. Until we can make changes to the menu strip which appears on all the pages on the
site we suggest the following solutions:
1. Printing from your Internet Browser: Go to the "File Option" on the menu
bar on either the Netscape or Internet Explorer then choose "Page Setup."
Adjust the settings of the right and left margins to about 0.25 inches
respectively. The top and bottom margins need not be adjusted. Hit "OK." Go
back to your "File Option" and click on "Print" and then "OK."
OR
If this does not work for you, print the page in landscape format. To print in landscape mode open the print dialog box. It will have a "Properties" button. Click on it and change the orientation of
the paper from "portrait" to "landscape." Hit "OK" and "print."
2. Paste text into your word processor. In order to avoid printing our menu
strip, place your mouse over the start of the article you want to print.
Click down and drag your mouse to the end of the article while keeping the
mouse pressed down. This should highlight the entire article. Now select the
"Copy" menu item from the "Edit" menu of your browser. Start your word
processor with an empty document. Select "paste." Now use the print function
of your word processor.

[You will need Acrobat to read this file]

[You will need Acrobat to read this file]
The Board of Alien Labor Certification Appeals in Matter of Peak 2000-INA-140 (Jan. 25, 2001), agreed with the Certifying Officer ("CO") that there was no bona fide job opportunity for the position of domestic cook where the alien had previously performed cooking, babysitting and cleaning for the employer and the evidence failed to explain adequately who would not perform those duties.

Immigration News of the Day
More Guest Workers? Not What We Should Pick
In an opinion piece in the Washington Post Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center of Immigration Studies, states that the
US should "reject calls for a new guest-worker program and to get serious about enforcing existing immigration law."
Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
What a difference a day makes! Unfortunately you published the wrong date in referring readers back to accessing their local senators via www.numbersUSA.com. The link on the ILW.COM website was published on February 22nd, not the 23rd. It would be most helpful to publish these links on a regular basis so that immigrants can e-mail their senators, specifically those on the immigration committee. I would encourage all resident aliens to bookmark the links and constantly e-mail their opinions on immigration laws, particularly those which INS use to deport thousands of alien spouses. Senators need to know what is happening out in the immigrant community and of the many problems honest people have in conforming with immigration laws, not the known hordes hoping for partial relief or amnesties.
