This bill is an amendment to the house version of the DHS funding bill which will be voted on in the next few weeks. HR 392 aims to remove the per country caps on employment based green cards and decrease backlog. It will mostly help Indians who have been waiting in line 10+ years and hurt everyone else. Is there still a chance that HR 392 can be passed as part of the DHS bill this month? Pro Indian organizations such as Immigration Voice keep working hard to lobby Congress for this bill and claim that it will pass this month. I am very worried about the possibility that it gets passed.

Bravooo!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Why you indians hate each other so much ? @123raj is a burning example of that.
Who'll be subservient as f in other countries but when they're in India would show off like a smug NRI so btfo.
Seriously dude, why so toxic to your countrymen . geez..
Who hates people of his own race in public?
You are insulting yourself indirectly
@Ondeck- the probability of your ass getting kicked is higher than anything else.
Condemning his own country and people, such a loser. A Racist who hates his own race 😅
The point I am trying to make is more about macro economics when it comes to removing the per country barrier, considering the demand and supply as of 2018. But yeah, very low chance of this thing passing in any case.
-Happily married American to an Indian who was on H1B, but a successful Entrepreneur now!
- indian H1B waiting for GC since 2011
When I said exactly what you said (folks don't expect things to change dramatically), the answer I got from non indian and Chinese folks was: GC isn't right its a privilege. No one promised you a GC.
Also, how is reducing the backlog and allowing these employees on restrictive work visas to change jobs easier and start their own businesses going to drop salary etc ? It should have the opposite effect if anything since these immigrants are in a better position to negotiate from strength once legal status is settled for good.
Increased quota means more people getting permanent residence in this country. People would have gone back to India otherwise will not. People who went back can come back after a few years easily as well. How does this not increase the supply? Increased quota also encourages more immigration effort which will result in more software engineers in H1B, L1 and what not (since Indian immigrants are mostly applying as a software engineer).
Couple of years ago he was against illegal immigration, now he is for it.
Illegal immigrants right now are top priority for Dems

I know of folks on AP EAD for 10 years, thanks to backlog. You are complaining that after AP EAD you won't get GC in < 3 years? 😲
Oh of course you are from row! You are more important than anyone else!
I do have an EAD/AP. However it’s not recommended to work on EAD without any underlying status because then if your I-485 is denied, you will be out of status immediately (without even any grace period). Also if you try to enter the US with AP, it is not guaranteed that you would be admitted in the US. Moreover, once you use the AP, you lose your underlying status (if any).
Every time folks complained, the answer from ROW folks has been:
GC is not a right it's a privilege. No one guaranteed you a GC. Hmm...
Again, you are spreading fud in many threads. USCIS processes in the order they were filed. If new petitions come they only increase processing time for new applications. This is how they have been doing for a long long time - only exception to that is premium processing suspension - where they clearly state they can't honor the processing timelines.
However, have you wondered how much your indian colleagues who can never get theirs in their lifetime would feel when you mean ' I don't care whether they rot, as long as I am safe all is good'.
To your other point, the bill would not help the majority of Indian applicants, only the ones who filed 10+ years ago..
Either you didn't read or you didn't understand it.
10+ years? Where did you get this info? Keep spreading misinformation. Which country are you from?
