AILA New England Chair Annelise Araujo’s Letter to the Boston Globe Editor Published

By Members in the News

AILA New England Chair Annelise Araujo’s letter to the Boston Globe editor was published yesterday. In her letter, Attorney Araujo stressed the point that our current US labor shortage could be mitigated, in part, by timely adjudication of the pool of over 650,000 pending with USCIS.
