hr1044 consequences
Just my 2 cents: 1- If they want to introduce a positive change, let's first increase the ridiculous cap on eb visas, maybe add extra 100K (the extra cap can be free from country limits), this will help to clear the backlog. 2- If this bill succeeds (unlikely) there will be an exodus of non-Indian skilled workers from the US. The reason for that is not many people have the motivation to wait 10+ years for their immigration status to settle, Europeans, Canadians, Chinese and others will probably prefer to transfer to offices overseas or simply settle for other good opportunities back home. I'm certainly one of them, will never bother waiting around for years to get a GC!
This is a selfish bill. They failed to check its impact on AC21. This is never going to pass.
Your 2 goes against the current conditions. Currently Indian wait time is more than 10 years and still we get enough. If there were good opportunities back home then they would have already gone - for everyone. 1 agreed. At a high TC, it makes sense to get cap exempt.
My question is why r they are in a country for more than a decade on a work visa? Why they arent sent back . I dont agree with ur "IF there were good oppt back home" I think you are just a naive and someone doesnt knw advancements in india now but rather want to settle abroad which is ok but dont say that there arent oppt back home
If you think Indians a group then this is selfish. If you think of every individual as a separate entity then it’s not. Pro and anti groups campaign accordingly.
OP rhetorical question, say if you were Indian and waiting in GC queue what would you do? I understand that no one wants to wait but simply seeing from someone else's view would alter your biases.
Simple, if OP was Indian he would do one of the following: 1. Not be born in India. 2. Singlehandedly stop h1b fraud. But only the ones committed by Indians. As no other country commits h1b fraud. 3. Singlehandedly, find all "cheap" labor and ask them to leave. But again only from India. As no other country sends cheap labor. 4. Leave and make India great again.
Maybe more like make India great
OP, you know how a queuing system works? The customer standing in the queue is just asking to not treat them differently based on their country of birth. Doesn't sound unfair to me.
To add, the customers already in the queue are exempted from this.
Currently, only 15% of the green cards issued are for employment based petitions. I would fix that first. (With half of those cards going to the worker’s family.)
Lol good luck this will never happen
It's not going to be 10+ years. Unused EB-1 visas spill over to EB-2, and EB-3 visas will never go unused because most EB-2 people can downgrade. So if all 120,000 visas in EB-1,2,3 get used for clearing the backlog every year, it will only take 6 years to clear the present backlog. Also the bill has a 3 year transition period so ROW applying in the 3 years after the bill is passed would only have slightly longer wait times than present. ROW applying in the 4th year would have to wait 3 years for the backlog to clear.
The people who are already in the queue will be cleared in time. For next years, whoever is joining the queue will understand that there’s a delay. Also, we could actually have an amendment to have this ramp up period to be 10 years.
We don't want to relitigate this, the experts (pro HR1044 Stuart Anderson from Forbes) have already done the analysis and determined that it will be a 10-year wait. /article/Analysis-on-the-impact-of-HR1044S386-to-Rest-of-the-World-and-what-you-can-do-about-it-JiGcQv3C
A question - why there will be an exodus of non-Indian people? If this bill goes through then new immigrants from India and Brazil will be treated the same way and have the same long wait time - but the Brazilian will just leave and Indian won’t? What exactly is the logic here. Also - America is unique in the sense that it has a differential treatment based on where the immigrant was born - so the Brazilian by your logic is protesting everywhere else to be treated differently than the Indian?
There already was. ROW categories used to be backlogged some years back, those backlogs cleared because less people applied or some lef. In the same time, India's backlog increased.
So the logic here is that ROW are special people - they just can’t wait like the Indians can and hence need to be treated separately?
it's funny that Indians are complaining while most of them believe in reincarnation, maybe you should've done better in your previous life!
I think I agree. And then Trump Norway immigrants will never be able to become residents
