Suicide Film Renews Calls For Golden Gate Bridge Barriers

Immigration startup Bridge US today launched its business-focused product for helping companies procure work visas and Green Cards for their employees.

Bridge US works with immigration attorneys to submit applications, although it does have a cheaper self-service option. US companies have been known to avoid hiring overseas candidates because of the additional expense, headache and time required to get them their papers.
