NEWS: President Biden will announce protections tomorrow (Tues) for undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens and ease work visa access for some Dreamers, per 3 sources briefed by the White House
Story TK
H1B restrictions are indeed aimed at making you timid and docile. They are indeed dehumanizing you without a doubt. But it is not "indentured servitude", and if it is you probably deserve it. Let me explain why :
Indians on H1B are indeed subhuman garbage in the eyes of USCIS. Remember you are being asked to pay 10x more so Biden could fund illegal immigration and you can't go and meet your dying mother because you dont have some stamp for the 15th time. You are animal.

Obviously "people experiencing frenchness". Though I think "the" is not the part the dehumanizes them. It is the "french" part.

Dude. It is people who voted it out. Big Pharma benefits with universal healthcare as they can bribe government officials to prescribe needless medicines and procedure.s

Lovely kids and happy Rakshabandhan to them.
Let us also remember than over 100K Indians are stuck in USA and unable to travel to India to meet their sisters because you don't have dropbox appointment slots. Keep them in your prayers.
It is a two line memo for
@USCISDirector
to process H4 with H1B premium. It should not take more than 5 mins for the agent but will reduce thousands of calls to your customer support, congressional inquiries etc. She wont do it.
Strong possibility of DHS announcing an interim final rule that H1B post losing job grace period would be 180 days instead of 60 days this coming week.
The visa bulletins is a hate speech against Indians. It should be treated as such and should have nothing but contempt and that must be expressed at every possible stage.
Note that
@USCISDirector
can't process 80k greencards for those with approved i140 and in country for over 10 years but the same lady has let in over 100K Ukrainian refugees.
Just asked
@SenatorDurbin
when green card recapture and early adjustment of status for backlogged immigrants will be pitched parl, now that Plan C Byrd Baths are finally well-underway.
“Possibly,” said Durbin. “Possibly…”
Eagle Act might pass house again too. But without the necessary votes in Senate, they do not want to waste their time on this. Mike Lee has refused to push the bill in Senate this time. Durbin and Grassley both are opposed.
If ~2yrs ago,

1. Bill provisions would have come alive only now i.e Oct 1, 2022 --> No impact to RoW for their extra greencards

Khalistanis are into money laundering and weapon smuggling business as side activity which creates gangs and bad blood. Chances are they only paid $$$ to one such gang to take out few people.
Immigration Voice has become castle of aman Kapoor and handful of other people. They guard their castle by claiming they are the only to prophets of backlogged masses. A smart organization would have worked with others.
Today I met some USCIS employees. What sad and nice people they are. Totally oblivious to the chaos. Interestingly none of them knew much about most of the other things agency does other than their narrow line of work.
Compelling circumstances EAD is worthless.
1. It has validity of one year by
@uscis
takes 11 months to approve it.
2. It takes you out of status. You are in trouble if CBP catches you near San Diego or if you travel.
USCIS is expanding premium processing availability for certain F-1 students seeking optional practical training (OPT) and F-1 students seeking STEM OPT extensions, as well as launching online filing for Form I-907.

, I represent more than 14,000 Indians on H1B and their families . We are unable to get the visa appointment for stamping in India since more than 6 months. Unable to meet families back home. No Emergency appointments. It affects mental health of the families. Help

Very simple solution, start processing asylum applications as per the American law instead of this unlawful remain in mexico nonsense.
There is one immigration bill in Senate right now which is proposed by democratic whip and has 13 republican co sponsors. But Democrat Senate leadership won't vote on it. Ask
@SenatorDurbin
why.
And, to reiterate, the reason we fund (or should) systems that are accessible to and serve children, and are publicly governed, is to serve that public good (not private interest) of an informed citizenry, preserving collective, democratic interests!
#fundsystemsthatservechildren
Big problem with democrats is that they are stuck with idiots like

and
@SenSchumer
as their top leaders. These swamp creatures dont really care for anything.

A major company in bay area is planning a major layoff in January next year (2025). This layoff will be coupled with an option to keep the job and instead move to India office. The option will be given to Indian citizens as well as non Indians.

Stupidity is self cannibalizing. Khalistanis are peak stupid. They are just going to kill each other over all sort of things. Stealing money and smuggling being top reasons.
They don’t need to make the visa bulletin “current” to make a positive impact. Pick a date in this decade (i.e. the 2020s) and at help people. Don’t use the strawman of “we can’t make it current,” to keep the dates at 2012. Everyone will know the true intent of that nonsense.

@DrSJaishankar
must issue an advisory for Indian students. Ban PSU banks from granting edu loans too because they end up becoming risky.
@USAmbIndia
Student visa! Then OPT and then never ending GC backlog. America wants Indians but not give them equal rights and keep them and Indian born kids indentured for life. It’s a SCAM. There is a defacto BAN on Indians for employment based green card. DO NOT come here.

@PabloReports
This is a very simple deal for Dems. Take it. $25B is a small amount, will be totally ineffective and since it is spent over next several years, there is always a chance to reverse it in future.
A Stephen Miller equivalent in Biden admin would have simply advanced all the priority dates and would have then said, oops, covid kind of screwed up our calculations.
Someone close to the admin told me that WH does not see any possibility of any kind of immigrantion legislation this year and is also pessimistic for the same for entire Biden term.
Eagle Act WILL pass the house without much efforts but not on bipartisan basis. Primary reason is that BigTech+ is not backing it up anymore as they seem to have started backroom deals with admin on slew of executive actions. BigTech+ backed it up last to last year.
A good leader at the helm of
@USCIS
could have made a lot of difference. Trump side uses Chevron deference to their advantage. This admin has not used it at all. USCIS can simply chose to not count family members against the cap, no retrogression policy,
@NeilMunroDC
There is plenty of research that average H1B earns 29% more than other Americans. Not only they earn more and contribute more they create more wealth (Example Elon Musk). The natvists on other hand are scamming investors e.g. Theranos, FTX, WeWorks etc.
I were to advice Trump, i would ask him to throw a wrench into entire legal immigration. No family, eb, student, fiance. Nothing. Everything is halted. Until congress agrees to sit down and pass a bill.
When you and me think of some agent processing H1B petition or EAD, the reality is that for most of their workers it is just *Some* application they need to work on because they are paid to do that job.
@RepYvetteClarke
Hey racist hypocrite ! Keep this garbage lies to yourself. We exposed you are racist during
#EagleAct
. No amount of virtue signaling is going to help you salvage that damage you did. We will be here always.
Immigration Voice made key mistakes. Biggest was to spread complete canards that everyone was against them. This was not true. They should have built allies instead of day night abusing them. This includes everyone including AILA lawyers.
No. This is not a race and greencard is not an achievement you are supposed to achieve by outrunning others. This is bureaucratic abuse. You must refuse to participate in this game.

@latinorebels
Actually that is not such a bad thing. Those who care about it know, keeping it low key means less opposition and fear mongering around it like Hagerty is engaging in.
No. Bringing these people does not hurt USA.
Tax paying or high income isn't really factor on immigration law nor it automatically makes you better than these young folks.
They won’t give green cards to tax paying and high income earners but happily allow chain migration and increase the burden on the govt.
America is shooting itself in the foot!
I think I have criticized IV sufficiently. Next, is to take the media folks to task as well. Criticism of IV does not imply they are 100% wrong and their critics are 100% right. Only a sith deals in absolutes.
Trump is likely to win 2024 elections. We must use our playbook to completely halt FB immigration from ROW and EB immigration from ROW.
Secondary goal: Grind USCIS to a complete halt so most of their employees quit. It needs new younger people who want to do things fast.
I OPPOSE all legislation and relief targeted exclusively to children of ILLEGAL immigrants.
If there is _any_ scope of reform, the first and foremost priority should be for the children of LEGAL immigrants who have been left to age out despite their parents following ALL rules.
When Trump passed the so called "Muslim Ban" order imagine the uproar and pushback on that one. It was one of the first things Biden reversed. Indo-Am community needs to ask why that model does not apply to Indians.

Along with several other tech companies Google is the latest to have stopped doing PERM. This in general is good news for Indian backlogged folks as the demand from ROW will be reduce drastically.
1 M is too less of a number for a country with 350M people. Nearly every developed nation does better. But you also need to see the average years those 1M spent to get that green card. It is that complex process she has provided. You on other hand talk BS.

Please read Cato's blueprint for agency action. Can be done by USCIS without need for Congress. It is lengthy but makes you realize what is doable.
