Toyota Recalls Corolla Sedans and Matrix Hatchbacks
Recent Cases
The popularity of Toyota took another blow last week as the company announced another in what seems to be a regular series of recalls.
Apparently there have been issues with stalling engines in the 2005 through 2008 Matrix Hatchbacks and Corolla Sedans. This particular recall encompasses over one million cars sold in the United States and Canada.
The repercussions of the ongoing recalls can be clearly seen in the value of the stock for Toyota, and a widespread wave of negative feedback from Toyota owners. Sales of Toyota vehicles have dropped considerably this year on a nationwide level.
If you own one of these models, Toyota has announced that you will be receiving a notification of the recall sometime during the month of September. If you do not receive a notification, visit the dealership that sold you the car for further action.

USCIS Issues Clarifying Guidance on NAFTA TN Status Eligibility for Economists
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that it is clarifying policy guidance (PDF, 71 KB) on the specific work activities its officers should consider when determining whether an individual qualifies for TN nonimmigrant status as an economist.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) TN nonimmigrant status allows qualified Canadian and Mexican citizens to temporarily enter the U.S. to engage in specific professional activities, including the occupation of economist. The agreement, however, does not define the term economist, resulting in inconsistent decisions on whether certain analysts and financial professionals qualify for TN status as economists.
TN nonimmigrant status is intended to allow a limited number of professionals and specialists to work temporarily in certain specifically identified occupations in the United States. This updated guidance provides USCIS officers with a specific definition of one such category – economists – allowing them to adjudicate applications in a way that complies with the intent of the agreement. This policy update clarifies that professional economists requesting TN status must engage primarily in activities consistent with the profession of an economist. Individuals who work primarily in other occupations related to the field of economics — such as financial analysts, marketing analysts, and market research analysts — are not eligible for classification as a TN economist.
