HR 1044
- HR 1044 alternative Country based queue is racist Points based is unfair HR 1044 will fuck up everyone Solution: round-robin by country
- link HR 1044 https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1044 indian and chinease Trump supporters. what is your take on house( democrates majority) passing HR 1044 without DACA or any other illegal immigration part. you still think Trump and republican party wants immigrants like you or you are wa
- HR 1044 passed with a thumping majority 364 yeas to 66 nays Senate will be next whenever the bill there is unblocked. A super majority there will make it a law straight away. No question of Trump approving it then. America wins today
- HR 1044 - Asking for some empathy I understand many people want to oppose it. But why can’t they let us (Indians or Chinese) live slightly better too? We are like any other immigrants who come here , spend money for graduate education taking huge loans, get jobs and help the economy grow. When other countries have issues like travel
- H.R.1044/S.386 replacement bills It seems S386 going to be dead: https://twitter.com/gsiskind/status/1340406681478582275 I am assuming there will a similar bill to S386 next year. Considering that this one almost passed, will the new bill have a faster processing time next year? What are the chances that the new bill passes before
- Meaningful debate on HR 1044 Let’s all mutually agree that Indian consultancy companies screwed s*** up in the first place and they are still screwing this s***. So can we all mutually agree that those exploiting the system should be removed from the system of H-1B and GC? Next, every talented individual should get an opportu
- HR 1044 bill is needed. But... Country cap definitely needs to be removed so that high skilled workers can immigrate and make this country even better. Its definitely good for the economy. But at the same time USA has to be diverse and people from countries other than India and China should have a fair chance. One way to do thi
- Busting some myths around HR 1044 with data One of the many arguments against HR1044 is that the India GC queue is mostly filled with "low merit" applicants from Indian consultancies that pay far lower salaries and import low skilled Indian tech workers into US. Did some digging to come up with the following 2 data snapshots about GC filings

- Balanced View of H.R 1044 / S.386 So, I am from India and wanted to publish a balanced take on the S.386 / H.R.1044 Bill to remove country caps for employment-based green cards. Here are my thoughts: 1. Firstly, I think the bill is a tad bit aggressive with increasing the cap to 85% followed by 90%. And understandably, there is oppo
- Green Card Bill S.386/H.R.1044 Country cap is removed for H1B workers waiting for green card, how do you feel about it? #workvisa
- HR 1044, why do you think it will pass? Bills get passed if there is enough lobbyist money or can get generate enough votes in general election. HR 1044 has neither. Why do you think it will pass? Fairness???? Hahahhaahahahah.
- Why is HR 1044/ S386 Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act not being reintroduced? There "seemed" to be a decent amount of bipartisan support in the House as well as the Senate in the last congress and opportunity to negotiate and reach a resolution. Unclear why unlike the Farmworkers bill and the Dreamers bill, HR 1044 is not getting reintroduced before the March deadline. Though
- I’m Indian, and I oppose HR-1044 (eliminating green card per country cap) Let’s face it. Majority of H-1Bs are are filed by Indian consulting companies (body shops). They are very likely to abuse the new law (as they already did to the current H-1B system). Yes. Highly skilled Indians are treated unfairly, but HR-1044 is not the way to go. It’s not my country. But I need

- What will be the impact on pending AOS (i485) applicants from ROW if the H.R.1044 / S.386 passes? I am not sure how the “do no harm” provision of the bill works. Not sure if the 15% quota also helps because it is so less and may create a backlog of its own for ROW applicants. Also, I request everyone to discuss the question at hand and not debate the merits or demerits of the bill. There are tw

- S.386 and USCIS New Fiscal Year? Given USCIS Fiscal Year already started, they will still be issuing Green Cards based on previous policies. Does that mean any new legislation such as H.R.1044/S.386 can only be implemented from next Fiscal Year (provided the legislation passes for whatever reasons)?

- Blind Hatred for Consultant Engineers In view of HR 1044, I see many people showing so much hate and posting negative comments against consultant engineers, and many others acknowledge or just accept it. They are just normal human beings like rest of us and many seek better prospects and living. Some of them are smart and moved on to t
