Please see attached article about H-1B deadline (to file April 1st) from Failte 32’s immigration attorney, Caro Kinsella. You can tell the economy is back on track, the number of H-1B petitions is always a good indicator.

We believe that everyone should have an opportunity to learn how to code and begin a career in technology, so we have been working over the past year to create a comprehensive and affordable iOS Development course led by an expert practitioner. No previous background required and we will be placing students into internships at local NYC startups.
We’ll be launching the class soon — learn more: accesscodenyc.org.
Spread the word by tweeting: “We believe that everyone should be able to begin a career in tech. Learn iOS this Spring: accesscodenyc.org #queenstech @Coalition4Qns”
