Dear Sir/Madame: As representatives fo the higher education community, we write today in response to the June 30, 2010, Information Collection request regarding the revised USCIS Form I-129 (75F.R.37822; OMB Control No. 1615-0009).

Dear Mr. Tarragon: We are responding on behalf of the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the Council on Governmental Relations (COGR) to the February 8, 2010 Federal Register notice concerning the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (USCIS) proposal to add a “Deemed Export Acknowledgement” question to the Form I-129.

Dear Member of Congress: On behalf of Compete America, a coalition of corporations, educators, research institutions and trade associations, we urge Congress to put an end to our nation’s growing crisis in highly-skilled immigration by fixing our broken H-1B visa and employment-based (EB) green card systems this year.
