It slows down GC applicants who are born in mainland China too, because the other country’s PD backlog is 10 years long and they have millions of applicants brought by TCS, HCL etc infamous desi outsourcing companies. If this bill gets passed, after 3 years, USCIS will be spending 85% of their bandwidth processing backlog for one single country and the rest of the world have to share the remaining 15% GC quota.
Why is that unfair? If applicants from that other country applied before you, they should get GC before you. Why do you want a special treatment?
Also it's not the fault of TCS/HCL that they have a profitable and legal model of operating in US, but Huwaei gets banned
It will definitely slow down and that's very fair. There should be only 1 GC queue and GC should be allocated based on the position in the queue. India and China has nothing to do with it. If 140K GC per year is insufficient, all countries should suffer together.
Disagree. It’s not ROW fault that india has so many applicants, if you know what i mean
^ Also true. That's why this will never pass. Merit based system is the way to go.
Where is "yes it slows it down and this is unfair"
This is a well phrased and unbiased poll. My ass.
If it passed, good luck and goodbye America
All other nationality need to wait for their GC for almost 10 years and I don’t know why Democratic Party consider as it is fair. Give EAD instead then wait .
It slows down every country including China, only India will get faster. Because they will start from the very beginning of India’s queue and then everyone else. So it’ll be only Indian getting green card for next 10+ years. 10 years from single country, that would change the workplace a looooooooot.
And in 10 years the wait will be much longer because the number of applicants will continue to exceed the number of visas. It doesn't even solve the basic problem that more i140 are approved every year than i485.
For those who say Indians will not qualify under merit based, Canada has merit based and look at the facts here - https://www.businesstoday.in/current/policy/indians-acquiring-permanent-residency-in-canada-spike-in-2018/story/362873.html Gone are the days when people used to generalize China = cheap labor and India = consulting body shops. Time have changed. Generalizing Indians don't have skill is nothing but foolish else we won't get 50% PR in Canada in merit based system & won't have many CEOs in US from Indian origin. Do you think companies like FAANG would hire crap employees? Look at their interviews on Blind! Regarding consulting company, agree that they misused but isn't that job of USCIS and DOL to catch them? It's not a job of people of that country to catch such people. Why world's most advanced country make a system that can be gamed & USCIS, DOL does nothing about it and then blame entire community for that? Or after all there were no fraud at the level it is being claimed, something to think about? P. S - Not supporting bill, in for a merit based system. Just answering to one's who claim Indians don't have merit. Also, this is never going to pass so it's useless to discuss bill, but generalized opinion about merits of Indians are skewed negatively for some people by too much hate.
Lots of Indians will qualify, but 80% of H-1B workers are being paid less than the median wage in their fields. That's because of low quality applications from India. It's a real problem. The doesn't mean there aren't high quality Indian applications--there are lots. A very effective way to filter is to eliminate third party employment. Almost all those low merit applicants are consultants. The Indians who land jobs with FANG+ companies are high quality and should get greencards. It's the job of USCIS but USCIS is limited by the law and the current law allows this abuse
That's exactly my point. Also, employers are taking advantage by all this. Infact, not giving greencard is suppressing wages because people are already here, they are not leaving and employers keep taking advantage and suppress it. The real high skilled people who work for big companies leave as soon as their visa expires or is rejected. The consultancy people don't leave and keep finding other clients! Reality is USA is capitalist country, as long as this increases profits for corporates, government won't do anything cz that's what even government wants! If government makes process fair, how will attorneys, USCIS and all operate? Remember Intuit lobbied to not make tax laws simpler to keep making profit, this is nothing but same business. Government don't give a damm about people, it's dollars in the end.
No option to say it will slow down and unfair?
Where is the 🍿 option?
What I do like is it'll at least get every other country to talk about changing it... Instead of just 2 crying about it. Too bad it'll never pass.
