Only 63% of RoW EB GC applicants have a college degree compared to 93% for China and 97% for India. Further, RoW wages are 25% lower.
Yet it is RoW applicants that get EB GCs in a matter of months while Indians and Chinese wait for years and decades thanks to per country quotas.

Cross the border illegally and get an 8-year work permit (EAD) until the next hearing date.
Meanwhile, H-1B families with approved work based immigrant petitions can’t get the same EADs or greencards even after 20 years of H-1B status.

H-1Bs get 3-year, limited mobility work status even after working for 20 years in the same job.
But you cross the southern border and make an asylum claim, you get a 5-year unconditional work permit and quickly a greencard.
God this is so big. 5-year EADs for adjustment, asylum, and cancellation applicants will single-handedly save huge amounts of wasted time for everyone involved doing repeated two-year renewals. So much unnecessary make-work when delays are over 2 years.

APPL, MSFT, AMZN, Salesforce etc. have supported S386 simply because all their foreign hires in the US need to be treated fairly and equally when it comes to immigration. CoB discrimination is immoral.
Only NIAC Iranians, CIS/Fox nativists, and for-profit AILA think otherwise.

You work for 10 years in the US and accrue 40 SS credits, you become eligible for social security benefits.
But you work for 15+ years, accrue 60 SS credits and yet not get a US greencard! The curse of being a H-1B worker from India and the stupidity of country caps.

USCIS collects about $150M to process your GC in 12 months, fails doing so, come next year - retrogresses the dates making you all ineligible to get a GC. Many would call this a Ponzi scheme or bait and switch.
On top of this many paid a premium processing fee with no result.

H-1B workers pay $1,500 (initial petition and every extension) in STEM scholarships for US citizens. In addition, going forward, they will be paying $600 fee to fund asylum petitions. That’s billions of dollars of funding.

is harsher than Trump's EO on H1B program. S386 will make it impossible for H1B dependent firms to hire more H1Bs. Further, there is new burdensome red tape on labor certification process.

Laid-off H-1B workers with pending greencard petitions should be allowed to adjust status (AOS) immediately or provided EAD/AP.
These workers were already approved for immigrant visa petition (I-140) and have been waiting indefinitely for a GC number to become available.

USCIS had about 12 mths to process all fee based 200K+ EB AOS petitions they received last Oct/Nov Yet, it appears they did very little to process the extra visa availability this year and now well on track to waste 100K visas. This is a severe blot on Biden admin’s pro-imm cred.

The fact is half the RoW workers benefiting from caps don't have college degrees, make far lower wages, and have higher denial rates on PERM applications.
When they say they are'll PhDs and scientists, that is total fiction. RoW grad students are a tiny fraction at most US univs

Most American don’t know that the US discriminates foreign workers based on where they came from.

About 20 years ago I came to this country as a grad student and yet to receive my green card despite being approved 10 years ago. About 22M people received *after* me.

Ten years ago, I was approved for a greencard which I haven’t still received to this date because I was born in India. 10 million people who applied *after* I did have theirs… I think American’s mouthing their exceptionalism on this can shove it.

No, Indians are by no means flodding US immigration.
In 2019, only about 1.15% of US population is Indian American.
In 2018, only about 5.5% of 1.18M US greencards went to Indians.
In contrast, there are many more European, Mexican, and Chinese origin people in the US.

USCIS processed 303K FB vs. 108K EB to date this FY.

The original S386 was tweaked several times to benefit non-backlogged countries and allay the concerns of nativists.
It wasn’t backlogged workers that asked for EAD or H1B restrictions or quotas for nurses.
Despite this, they come back to square one and want the bill scrapped.

EB2 India retrogressed to 10/08/11. EB3 remains in 2012. Very soon EB1 will retrogress to prioritize RoW petitions.

US gov “retrogressed” the India EB2 immigrant visa availability dates backwards to 2012, so that German, Iranian, Taiwanese etc. workers that *just* applied (or ‘ll apply in 2023) will continue to ‘ve zero wait times in the new year.

USCIS collected about $300M in fees last Oct/Nov from employment based AOS petitions that it expected to process in FY2021.

Congress should end this terrible H1B program immediately. There is absolutely no need for 85K H1B visas when US awards 140K GCs each year to foreign workers.
Employers should be able to source their talent via EB GCs.
H1B program is one of the greatest humanitarian disaster.

H1B is a horrible way to hire foreign workers. It is immoral and it should end. Employers should instead use the employment based greencard program that is capped at 140K visas per year.

"H1B Abuse" is a code word that Iranian lobbyists use to preserve their unfettered access to EB GCs.
Many in the backlog, including me, have worked on H1B visas since 2005, have US degrees and L4 wages. During this time multiple US agencies have vetted us atleast a *dozen* times
@SriGaussian
@LilySAxelrod
The H1B abuse not only causes the long backlog for Indians, but also causes the pain for American tech workers and the international students including those from India. So stopping the abuse first, be fair in H1B, and then we can talk about fairness in downstream EB system.

Classic Neil Munro. US laws allow transfer of unsued FB immigrant visas to EB category and Mr Munro callously calls it a "giveaway" to those working on H visas for 10-15 years. Disgusting.
This swamp giveaway is more important than the DACA theater.
It would shut 100Ks of US grads out of their careers, raise the inflow of CPT/OPT/illegal white-collars & help flatline white-collar wages.

No talk of 7% country caps for DACA/TPS GC pathways for the simple reason that these are long time residents of the country.

Annual greencard quotas are time sensitive - use it or lose it. Surprisingly, USCIS is allowed take over 12 months to process I485 petitions. The result is a sure shot wastage of 100K visas this year.

The current work based greencard allocation highly favors RoW, making better paid Indian/Chinese workers wait longer while already in the US.
The annual EB GC demand is 45% (India), 12% (China), and 43% (RoW). The actual GCs delivered are: ~15% (India), ~10% (China), 75% (RoW).

If there is no real pathway to permanent residency or citizenship, Congress should shutdown the H1B program or not accept GC petitions from H1Bs. Currently, this is the case for H1Bs from India and China. Country caps, make it impossible for them to become LPRs.

If you’re an US educated engineer or doctor from UK/Iran, you don’t need to win H-1B visa lottery. You can get an instant greencard as a student worker on OPT.
Folks innocently ask why 60% of H-1B initial approvals are from India, calling it abuse.

80% of work based greencards are awarded to 30% of petitions (all from ROW). Only 20% go to India/China despite contributing 70% of workers, making them wait for 20-100 years on H-1B status.
This is not diversity. This is discrimination.
EB demand from ROW is about 30% of total and yet gets about 80% of all available EB visas each year. This is a textbook case of stupidity and discrimination.
Thank you

Big employers like Amazon, IBM, Google should do the H1B paperwork in-house and not hire law firms. There is absolutely no need for external law firms doing the routine form filling and enrich them only to take unethical stand against H1Bs. This perverse incentive should stop.

Nobody should have to wait more than 10 years in employment based GC backlog, all the while being an exemplary law abiding, tax paying legal resident. This is a common sense fix that Congress has to act on now.

Musk will be surprised to learn that hundreds of his H-1B engineers in the country for 10+ years haven’t yet been approved for an US greencard due to hard caps. If Musk fires them, they should pack up and leave.

I think we should significantly increase legal immigration.
If someone has a track record of working hard and hasn’t committed crimes, they should be welcomed.

H1B visas, PhD and Master’s programs, medical doctor residencies, OPT - none have 7% country caps.
It is illogical to not impose caps on dominant sources of talent but impose them on EB immigrant visas.

All the pundits that declared H-1Bs are *not* indentured are now busy lamenting H-1B workers’ inability to quit Twitter despite all their colleagues leaving in disgust of Musk’s tyranny.
Pundits really were defending the utility and expanding the H-1B program.

A Kenyan H1B working for an ICC argues it would be scandalous to make her wait for a EB greencard post S386.
And it is not scandalous that thousands of Indian MDs, PhDs, Google engineers, etc. have already waited for over 10 years on H1B visas while waiting for their turn.

@USCISDirector
Director, let me respectfully remind that last year USCIS wasted over 50K greencards for STEM professionals, keeping their 100 year wait times intact. Also, 1000s of H4 women professionals had to quit jobs due to EAD renewal delays.

This is a criminal wastage of EB visas by Biden administration when about 500K EB families in the US have been languishing for visa availability for over a decade.

Myth: Iranian GC applicants are all PhDs and Doctors.
Fact: 33% of Iranian GC applicants in 2018 did NOT have a college degree. Had wages below the ROW and 37% lower than Indian applicants. Only 200 applicants had a PhD and had wages lower than ROW PhDs.

EB greencard annual limits are time sensitive - they expire at the end of the year. USCIS should ensure these are processed within 12 months of receiving the fully fee funded I485 petition. There is no reason that they should take any longer in a post-pandemic year.

The final outcome of the BR will me a litmus test for Senator Durbin and AILA vis-a-vis their stand on immigration from India - whether they selectively want to hurt Indian immigrants. Never did we come this close to addressing unjust caps on AOS for skilled immigrants.

Q. 7% cap applies to all countries. Why does only India have the backlog?
A. China EB2 too has 18 year backlog in 2020, per CRS report.
If every country is imposed a cap at 1/3rd its global population share, at least 30 countries will have severe backlog.

There is absolutely no science in 7% EB country cap.
- Supporters argue it promotes diversity in green cards.
- Supporters happen to be from small countries such as Iran with 1% of global pop
- In 2019, Iran got 2,091 EB2 visas or 5.2% of total
- India got 2,908 or 7.3% of total

Hard to understand why Senator Durbin wants country caps for 500K legal employment based approved workers and not for 13M undocumented immigrants. Some call him a r
@cist
for the same reason.
When there will be no per-country limit on 13 million undocumented in the Budget Reconciliation bill, why does Senator Durbin REFUSE to remove racist per-country limits affecting Indian immigrants? 3/3

The current EB visa allocation is totally irrational and goes against the market economy principles that the US is built upon and admired.
Look at this analysis on occupational fulfillment of EB visas.
@SenRickScott
@MiamiHerald
@SenRickScott
The current country cap limits pervertly skew the allocation of employment based GCs to low wage, low demand occupations such as hospitality, while severely restricting allocation to high wage, high demand occupations such as engineering and healthcare.
