There are several threads against it but I start a thread to support it. H.R.1044 - Is a bill that removes per country cap that will reduce wait times for India and China green card applicants. Opponents of H.R.1044 tells it helps maintain diversity of US Demographics. Here are some facts: Indians...Read more
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...Read more
Will it slow down GC card process for folks coming from other countries other than China and India ?
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...Read more

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...Read more
Country cap is removed for H1B workers waiting for green card, how do you feel about it? #workvisa
Country based queue is racist Points based is unfair HR 1044 will fuck up everyone Solution: round-robin by country
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
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...Read more
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...Read more
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...Read more

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.
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...Read more
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...Read more
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...Read more
