Open doors to those who want to come to the US to work

No one better illustrates the need for immigration reform in 2014 than Felicity, a young British engineer who wants to work in California.

A graduate with a master’s degree in product design engineering from a top UK university, Felicity (not her real name) is working as a paid intern on a temporary visa in San Jose. She has job offers from two high-tech firms in Silicon Valley, and has chosen the one that is most likely to get her an H-1B visa. That visa would allow her to stay and eventually apply for permanent residency.
