Q & A Session with Congressman Don Bacon
India Association of Nebraska along with community individuals had approached Congressman Don Bacon to support the HRS 392 bill which will lift the country quota for H1B and Green cards.
We met with Congressman’s officials and explained the situation. Ian had asked community members to send their real-life stories and sent them to the Congressman. He did sign the letter to support the bill.
