With the time period to submit one of the most popular employment visa application (the H1-B) quickly approaching, we wanted to take a moment to address some of the most common questions we get regarding this process.

WHO SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE H-1B VISA LOTTERY?

Department of Homeland Security Warns Immigrants Of Scam Involving Its Telephone Numbers

Department of Homeland Security Warns Immigrants Of Scam Involving Its Telephone Numbers

Earlier today, the Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (Ombudsman) warned immigrants and the general public of reports that certain Department of Homeland Security (DHS) telephone numbers, including the Ombudsman’s main telephone number, have been used recently as part of a telephone spoofing scam targeting individuals throughout the country. Spoofing is the deliberate falsifying of information transmitted to a caller ID display to disguise an identity.

The Ombudsman’s Office numbers (202-357-8100 and 1-855-882-8100) appear to have been compromised. The scammers use various tactics, such as the threat of identity theft, to elicit sensitive information. Very little is known at this time, but the department warned the public that it – and any government office – would never ask for sensitive information over the telephone, such as Social Security numbers or credit card information.

Can BUSINESS-PEOPLE Get Workers’ Compensation Benefits? YES!

10/7/2019

1 Comment

There is a common misconception out there that workers' compensation benefits are only available to laborers and union workers, and not to people working in white-collar jobs and professions. I have heard this from clients so often that I wanted to share a story with you in hopes that more people will know that they may be eligible to get assistance at a very difficult time in their lives.

I recently asked my friend Jim, an engineer for a Fortune 500 company, where he had been, since I had not seen him in several weeks. He told me that he was recovering from a heart attack he had experienced while traveling for work to a plant in Iowa. Jim explained this happened when he was at LaGuardia Airport. He had been delayed in a long security line, was pulling his carry-on with a briefcase on top, and was rushing to the departure gate, when he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He had to sit down in the middle of the concourse. Thankfully, a quick-thinking security officer called an ambulance, and Jim was taken to a nearby hospital.
