Why is ROW against new
#S386
?
With new language, RoW can:
- Stay in US & work on EAD until backlog clears
- No need to rely on H1B lottery, since EAD available if I-140 approved or pending >270 days
- Can travel in & out using AP
- Kids protected from age out

If you really cared about immigrants and making the system FAIR for all irrespective of where they were born, you could re-allocate ALL the FB to EB spill over in 2020/2021 to ROW.
The fixes are not rocket science.
It does need a clear conscience.

The new
#S386
language has 9 years transition vs 3 years earlier. Why isn't there a single tweet to appreciate that, from those who oppose S386? Because those who oppose, are not looking for a solution, unfortunately. Status quo works for them.

Hello country cap removal bill - not only it's widely bipartisan, it has actually passed house several times with 350+ votes & has also passed the Senate previously with 100 votes (UC)
If
@TheDemocrats
were serious about immigration, it would take 1 day to pass

Not every non-Indian EB immigrant is a PhD.
Not every Indian EB immigrant is an IT worker.
As long as two people qualify under same EB criteria, they should be treated equally.
#PassHR1044
If one has issue with EB classification, its a topic for another bill.

When opponents of

No one is purged from the line, at the end of FY. If they were, then there won't be

Care to explain what you mean by *gutting* the

system?
If your intent is to completely move the current H1B system from a lottery based to a points based (based on skills, education, wages), that's actually great! This is what even the high skilled immigrants stuck in

In the spirit of transparency, you should be publishing weekly update on how many I-485s have been approved and how many GCs are still at risk to go waste.

Maye, I am a legal immigrant who came to the US as a grad student.
Graduated with 4.0 gpa, research papers. I work for a F50 tech company, paid well, have filed 10+ patents.
I dont have a greencard STILL even after 15 years in the US.
Reason: Per-country caps in employment
