美国公民和移民局(USCIS)将把工作签证H-1B、入籍、职业移民、亲属移民等作为移民局评估政策、改善服务的优先领域。 这是移民局进行大范围调查后得出的结论。今年4月15日,移民局前所未有地开始对移民政策服务进行全面评估,并邀请公众和内部员工对之发表意见,提出需要评估和改革的优先任务。5600名移民、工作签证持有者、雇主、移民律师,以及2400名移民局员工参与了问卷调查。 根据移民局26日发布的调查结果,移民局全国客服中心、工作签证H-1B、归化入籍、职业身份调整、亲属身份调整、职业移民三个优先类别、难民与庇护身份调整、不予入境豁免申请(I-601表)、普通人道项目、雇工授权和旅行文件等是受访者最关注的十个方面。 移民局由此将上述十个领域作为政策评估的优先任务。移民局长马约卡斯说:“作为一个机构,我们必须保持政策连续性,指导我们为公众利益实施这些政策。为了达到这个关键目标,我们在这些主要任务方面与公众合作,评估我们的判断和客服政策。我们将协同合作,朝连续性、统一性、透明度和有效性的共同目标而努力。” 近年来,一些类别移民申请积压严重,申请人望眼欲穿却查询无门,移民局因此受到诟病。移民局通过提高移民申请费,增派人手,在一些方面有所改善,但工作效率和服务品质仍需继续改善。 据悉,移民局针对上述十个优先问题,已分别成立专门工作组,集合移民官员、政策分析师、律师、专家等,将分门别类进行详细政策评估,提出改进建议,如果有必要,将进入行政命令的修改程序。不过,移民局官员表示,国会确定的移民法律不在评估之列。 |
漫谈书法结构(二十一) 马俊青 有人研究书法结构问题时,采用逐字分析法,这个字的这一笔长点,那一笔短点,这儿宽点,那儿窄点。这儿大点,那儿小点,还罗例出很多字例。我认为这种研究方法是出力不讨好的,如此研究,可以说尚未摸到书法的门,即使下大功夫研究出一堆所谓的成果,但也终无法满足创作的要求。在行、草书快速书写的过程中,根本就无法施展这些所谓的成果。就象两人打架,尚未等你摆好架势,估计打架已经结束了。所以说,这种分析法决不可取,如果采用这种方法,相信不用说做书法家,即使作一个书匠也作不好。</SPAN></SPAN> 书法结构之理,是道这个层面上的问题,是解决对事物规律性认识的问题,是解决同一类型,同一批,甚至整个汉字的结构原则性问题,不是具体的细节末稍问题。因此,研究书法结构问题,必须找准目标,找准问题研究的切入点,否则,目标一错,只能是事倍功半,白白浪费生命。</SPAN></SPAN> |
