HR1044
- hr1044 Im watching closely this entire discussion about s386/hr1044 Since this is end of october, will hr1044 still be possible this year? Will it take effect in 2020 or 2021 the earliest?
- Hr1044/S386 dead again. Omnibus bill text is out (5593 pages) and no mention of hr1044 or s386 anywhere. No changes to h1b lca or perm or green card. I don't think anyone is interested in passing this one even in the next term. #workvisa #h1b
- S386/HR1044 Debate Flagging Is it just going to be the norm on blind that any post about this topic that doesent support the bills will be flagged into oblivion? Why are supporters so afraid of free speech and discussion even trying to get this passed without debate in the senate?
- 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 s
- vote S386/HR1044 Myth Buster with sources cited These bills seek to remove the per country cap in employment based green card category making it free from discrimination on an applicant's country of birth. This is a much needed relief for many backlogged tech workers who have been working in USA, legally, for decades with absurd GC wait times li
- Is S386/Hr1044 dead? No news and it is now already holiday time?
- HR1044/S386 Are there any updates on when this bill be floored in the senate for approval? Last I heard was that Sen. Lee had removed Sen. Durbin’s objections.
- S386/HR1044 Stop ! The root cause is H1B visa abuse. Look at what those Indian consulting companies like Infosys are doing ! There is no green cards budget increase. It hurts ROW and diversity. We shall solve the root cause !
- HR1044 - Few pointers ROW is concerned about the increased wait time due to this bill. ROW is asking Indians why not increase GC so that it will fix problem for everyone. ROW resented that Indians are working on a bill which would harm ROW, but what they are not realizing is that Indians would love to have more GCs beca
- How to fix hr1044 So at this point everyone knows the problem with hr1044 is that the India queue contains a very large number of low quality applications submitted by Cognizant, Wipro, Infosys, etc, and that high quality applicants from r.o.w. would end up waiting years while these low quality applicants are process
- hr1044 s386 Does anyone know what are the chances of this proposal to pass? Does anyone know when is it going into affect if it passes?
- HR1044 - fairness for high skilled immigrants Do you think it's going to pass? What effects do you think it'll have on the tech industry? I personally think the increased mobility will lead to wage increases for everybody.

If you are in the backlog,
- At least AoS instead of S386/hr1044 It’s very likely that this won’t pass because of the number of poison pills in it. At least can they get the early aos added so that we are not at the mercy of the consulate officers whims every single time we go outside for stamping. Btw RoWs comments hating Indians is so depressing :( #workvisa #

Most of these IT workers living here for 10+ years and will have a chance to live a

- What are HR1044/S386? A few questions. Why do people care? People on blind usually don’t care about politics, and they just care about TC. I read both bills. I have some questions: 1. People say it will only benefit some specific groups, and hurt most. I don’t see it. It seems fair, right? 2. Why do we only change the way of distributi

Let's start with the things I believe we agree on: - American jobs should protect American citizens first and foremost - H-1B body shops whose sole
- People again HR1044 or S386 are against fairness to all. Sad to see in a country like USA which has raised above all discrimination have people like these who oppose a simple and sensible bill like this. When the discrimination does not happen based on your color, religion and citizenship why it should happen on place of birth? Seems obvious that those se
- HR1044 going to house next week Folks, fyi the bill is going to house next week. Looks like it will pass this time... Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. I am indian btw. TC: Peanuts
- S386/HR1044: Closing thoughts as an Indian The thing I take away from this whole thing is this: There’s no solidarity amongst immigrants. Iranians and others - clearly don’t have a line on how far they’ll go - how many fake accounts they have to create, what rhetoric they have to say - to keep the status quo the way it is. In their favor.
- vote Should S386/HR1044 pass? Just trying to poll Please keep the discussion civil. We already know both sides - Why should Indian citizens wait for years because of the quota.

- PSA: Opposition to HR1044/S386 is not "racist", it's a bad law that does nothing to fix the problem Let's be clear on the problem: There are, in total more approved i140 applications every year than there are available visas.
