In a report done by The Partnership for a New American Economy, the findings show that more and more foreign investors are behind new US technolgy receiving patents.

Here are some of the eye-opening numbers:
- 76% of patents at the top 10 patent-producing US universities had at least one foreign-born inventor.

 -  54% of all patents were awarded to the group of foreign inventors most likely to face visa hurdles: students, postdoctoral fellows, or staff researchers.

-  Foreign-born inventors played especially large roles in
cutting-edge fields like semiconductor device manufacturing (87%), 
information technology (84%), pulse or digital communications (83%), 
pharmaceutical drugs or drug compounds (79%), and optics  (77%).

Welcome to our new immigration website focussed on students! At The Goldberg Law Office, PLLC, we are excited about the new immigration policy announced by President Obama.

This gives new hope for young people who were waiting for the Dream Act to pass. Although this new policy is not the Dream Act, it does give hope and an opportunity for students and graduates to obtain legal status.

I'll be posting on more news about the "Deferred Action" or student immigration policy as it becomes available.

For now, we have the basic elements of the new policy posted. Just click on the button at the end of this post.

People should not apply for the new immigration status for "Dreamers" at this time. However, the new Obama immigration policy should be implemented by August 15, 2012. So, mark your calendars!
