SISKIND'S IMMIGRATION BULLETIN - FEBRUARY 10, 2009

By Greg Siskind

Folks who haven't been to my firm's web site at www.visalaw.com may not know that I co-write (along with my colleague Ken Bragdon), Siskind's Immigration Bulletin. Our firm has been publishing this newsletter online since mid-1994 and, to the best of our knowledge, it was the very first law firm email newsletter in the world.

I'm going to post the table of contents for the newsletter here when new issues are published so folks can see some of the other immigration-related items about which I'm writing. SIB is less opinion-oriented than this blog and is more straight news, but we do cover a lot of news that I don't get to mention on this blog. So I hope you find it useful.
