Spring is a beautiful season awaited by most people. It is a transition from “cold” to “just right”, from a busy season to a fresh, clean start. For students, they anticipate this season to take a break from school and enjoy their spring break by traveling, hanging out with their friends or relaxing; but not all of us may treat it the same way.

For immigrant hopefuls, April 1st or the weeks approaching that date marks a busy and crucial period because it is the H1B filing Season. It is a month that they need to act fast (or find a good mentor, if available) in order to pursue and file for their H1B application in the hope to attain their working visa.

As we all know, H1-B Cap has been changing drastically since 2009.In the fiscal year of 2009, the H1B Cap was reached on December 2009. The following year, the cap was reached on January 2010; and last year, surprisingly, the cap was reached on November 2011.  This only implies that despite the recession, the employment rate is getting better, and every year there is no guarantee as to the closing date of accepting applications; it just depends on how fast people apply, how fast cases get adjudicated and how fast the quota is reached. Therefore, it is better to find a good mentor and proper assistance in order in order to be part of the H1B Application this fiscal year.

CSI Professionals Inc in collaboration with Attorney Mary Sanga of MTS LAW has been continuously prepping the public as always.  For this critical period, we maintain to provide a Free Monthly Seminar to educate the public about their job opportunities and available working visas. As a matter of fact, CSI is hosting another FREE  Employment & Immigration Seminar, “Coffee Moment” on April 20, 2012 from 1:30 -4:30 PM at 100 North Brand Blvd. 6th Floor, Glendale CA 91203. The event will be re-joined by Law Offices of Mary Sanga, being one of our legal counsels, and who will bring to the public a more in-depth understanding and approach to working visa applications for new, current and future cases. CSI in turn, being the expert in employment and career placements, will discuss through its very own, Ms. Marge Ordiales, how you can start your life, career and future with the help of its tested and professional service and assistance. There will be also a job interview workshop facilitated by Mr. Paul Martinez, Sr. Management and Training Analyst of the City of Los Angeles, to provide job interview tips and conduct mock interview.

This is the chance for you to know more about your eligibility on current availabilities and employment based sponsorships. ACT NOW and Be AHEAD and take advantage of the opportunities that you will gain from our Experts!   In addition, CSI would like to invite you to visit our booth at Glendale City College on April 18, 2012 from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Our Employment experts will be there to answer your inquiries with regards to job opportunities.

Announcement:
CSI will be offering its official Internship Program to qualified candidates, in the field of Public Relations and Marketing, effective January 2012. In coordination with various candidates from ASIA and Denmark, we aim to spread the wings of the Western training, throughout the world.

Marge H. Ordiales, Vice President of CSI Professionals, Inc.

For CSI, our New Year’s resolution is not only for our own good, but for the public. CSI’s objective is to continue its public service to educate and help more immigrant hopefuls in order to achieve their American Dream in finding sponsoring companies and to live lawfully in the U.S. Another goal is to make the public become more aware about the advantages and disadvantages of applying for H1B now than later.

While there is no confirmation as to how many or what selection process or for how long the H1B Visa Cap will be open, it is encouraged that interested applicants file for their H1B immediately to attain one of the 65,000 visa numbers available. For the past years, it was through a lottery or random selection process. Filing for an H1B, like any other types of visa is risky. Now that the U.S. is still in economic recession and everything is unpredictable, we do not know how the government, through the immigration will process this visa for this year.  Filing for H1B petitions opens on April 1, and employment commences on October 1. Therefore, to be qualified for H1B, you must have legal status until October of 2012. Potential petitioners may already prepare to file for their H1B petitions on April 1 since trends, as mentioned, show that the quota can be closed in just a few days after opening.

To know more about these advantages and disadvantages in addition to your available visa options, you may want to attend our seminar on January 27, 2012 from 1:30 PM until 4:30 PM. The venue is at 100 N. Brand Blvd Glendale, CA 91203.

Guest Speakers:

1. Marge H. Ordiales, Vice President of CSI Professionals – to know more about our current job openings and how we can help them find a sponsoring company

2. Attorney Flank from Nelson & Associates – our retained lawyer will discuss about your available visa options. He will also discuss about the current changes in immigration.

3. Mr. Paul Martinez, a Sr. Management and Training Analyst of City of Los Angeles – will discuss about job interview tips and conduct mock interview.

4. Testimonials from our current approved H1B to share her journey in achieving American Dream.

This is your chance to join us and learn more about the most recent and important issues on employment and immigration; and also improve your job interview skills. You may also bring a copy of your resume for an initial assessment.  For further details and to reserve seats, please call our office at 213-487-5059.

Since the year of 2012 is a year of a Water Dragon which defines “The Dragon is a reminder everyone has dreams and that the time to pursue them is now.” Act now; join our seminar before it becomes too late. Let CSI help you to achieve your dream in the U.S.

CSI Professionals, Inc. on Managing Time

The lines “I’m on my way” holds a very special entry in every Filipino’s daily vocabulary. Be it in the bathroom hastily splashing on some cologne, or in the kitchen trying to devour a sandwich in three bites, when the person you’re meeting up calls and asks for your location, those four words would spill out as if on auto-pilot. This is what you call running on Filipino Time: when dinner set at 6:00 PM would start 7:00 PM. Read the rest of this entry »

CSI Professionals, Inc on Providing Immigration
Solutions to the Immigrant Aspirant

Yellow, Green and Orange may be the hottest colors this season. This summer trend has been seen to dominate the sidewalk scene in the Philippines. Though this kind of election campaign was for the sole purpose of easy identification and association, what should really be given more attention to are the electoral candidates’ platforms. What are their goals and how are they planning to reach them? It is only after a thorough examination of each candidates’ platform that one can make an informed vote. Similarly, one must take a closer look at the U.S. Immigration System to make informed immigration decisions. Read the rest of this entry »
