Every day, ACIP is actively advocating on behalf of its members to ensure that policymakers and thought leaders in Washington, D.C. and state capitals know how America’s employment-based immigration system can best support employers’ efforts to create U.S. jobs, grow the economy and keep America on the cutting edge of worldwide innovation.
And we could use your help!
Remember and Repeat: Key Solutions
You can help us advocate for sensible and practical reform of the U.S. employment-based immigration system by remembering and sharing these key solutions:
- Support a Trusted Employer Registration program to create processing efficiencies for the government and employers who comply with U.S. immigration laws;
- Provide employers with access to the employment-based visas they need to attract and retain talent critical to competing in today’s marketplace;
- Help grow the domestic pipeline of talent in the key fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics; and
- Create a reliable, workable and easy to use electronic employment verification system to assure employers that their employees are indeed work authorized.
