L1s SLIP PAST H-1B CURBS

摘要

Dec. 20 was supposed to be Michael Emmons' D-Day, the day he was to lose his contractor position. It would have been, had Emmons not quit his post at Siemens AG's Siemens Information and Communication Networks division, in Lake Mary, Fla., on Nov. 22 rather than wait to be replaced by a worker from Tata Consultancy Services holding an L1 visa. Tata is a Mumbai, India, IT services company contracted by Siemens to do, among other things, Emmons' job: connecting Web sites to SAP R3 applications.
