CNet is reporting that the door has closed on the H1-B visa application process for this year, one day after it began. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services said that it had received 150,000 applications as of yesterday afternoon. 65,000 H1-B visas can be issued for foreigners with bachelor's degrees. The USCIS will choose randomly from the applications to determine the winners.

Here in Dundee we have a lot of people or chinese and asian origin, lots of them are born and bred here in Scotland with parents or grandparents who emigrated to Scotland. In the shop I work in we get non-whites in every day, and Glasgow for instance has a huge asian population.
Indeed. One of the most surreal experiences in my recent trip through the UK was hearing an old Asian lady - not a day under 80, I'm sure - start talking in one of the thickest Scottish accents I've ever heard (the type where all you can answer with is "what ?").
This wasn't in Glasgow though. Edinburgh, I think it was.
