S386
- S386 PASSES SENATE Just WOW. This actually happened. https://twitter.com/immivoice/status/1334276179113730050?s=21
- 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 hope Is there any chance this can become law before Jan 5?
- Help defeat S386 After seeing so many posts drumming up support for S386, packed with misleading statements and demanding "fairness", here is a post to seek support to permanently kill this selfish, repugnant bill. S386 removes the 7% per-country cap for Green Card (GC) approvals. This is being pushed by a well-fun
- S386 Passed The Senate Bill S386 passed today! Rejoice and donate here! - https://fundrazr.com/fairness2020 No more per-country caps and we all can file EAD next year. What do you guys think? #S386
- Expressing opinion on s386 Blind as you may have seen someone wanted to know how to take action against s386. It was flagged and taken down. Then an informational post about s386 was created and that was taken down again. Here is gist: 1. Contacting senators starting from your state by meeting in person,emailing,calling. 2.
- 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?
- S386 UPDATES Any updates on this bill?? Let’s not discuss if it should be passed or not. There are plenty of other posts for that. This is for just what’s latest on this bill.
- link S386 will pass soon Whatever ROW keep saying on this Blind this bill will pass soon. The last debate on it in senate is clear indication that Durbin is feeling the heat. He brought the kids age out bill now and soon he will agree to more. I believe breaking the bill into small pieces like this is better than the compl
- link Debunking S386 opposers logic Logic 1: Indians are in the backlog because of their own WITCH companies and they abuse H1B. Granted both the assertions may be true, that there are some Indian people who may try to abuse the system. Would you also start blaming all Chinese nationals for coronavirus or all people from Saudi arabi

- S386 What do you think is the future of eb2 GC for Indians, now that biden won the elections?
- How is s386 "FAIR" Indians are 18% of world populations getting 30% of the green cards every year. If this shit passes then probably 80% of GC will be for those 18% world populations. How the fuck is that fair? They have abused the H1B with their low skilled ICC workers, created this pit and now want RoW follow to the
- Is S386/Hr1044 dead? No news and it is now already holiday time?
- Ending S386 discussion All stuck in backlog please call your senators to pass S386 All who will be impacted by S386 please call senators Rest of us don't want to see this SPAM post after every 5 mins. So please spare us! PS: Don't forget to press 1 if you leave a voice mail. Happy Calling folks. May the senators voice
- 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
- Consulting companies opposing S386 Multiple sources shows rising opposition to S386 due to 50:50 rule. Still think it might pass?
- 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 !
- if S386 passes if S386 passes, there will be a huge influx of students from India. the number of OPT emplooyees will far surpass available jobs. the final result will be replacing expensive employees and h1b employees with OPT employees. Probably before you get your GC.
- link S386 Tim Cook Sensible people support this bill. Don't understand why one senator is against this common sense bill https://twitter.com/tim_cook/status/1184953662071885824?s=19
- S386: Level playing field Last week met a coworker I had interviewed and hired about 2 years ago. They are on a much junior level, less education and half my TC. I have been waiting for more than 10 years now in GC backlog. They just received their Green Card (not indian). I hope #S386 passes and there is a level playing
- link S386 UC again Looks like it will make it guys : https://twitter.com/The_Americat/status/1204577661248589824
- Latinos KOed S386 There is no chance S386 passes now with the demand required by Rick Scott. Looks like Rick was heavily influenced by the Latino lobby who knew the bill was disastrous for them and that will simply never change. How can Indians recover from this one? Florida Latino lobby ensures bill remains blocked.
- 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 finally passed in senate Yoe: 8 Tc: 190k #workvisa #h1b
- vote S386 tl;dr? Have seen a lot of posts. Don't know anything about it. Need to understand what people think.
- If S386 didn't pass... And Indians realized that there is no future here and took their business elsewhere, what would the consequences be? FWIW, I do have a horse in the game. TC: 280
- 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?
- link Campaign against S386 I came to know from a Chinese colleague today that there's a very active effort going on against s386 including things like separate scripts for Republican and Democrat senators, forming calling groups to distribute the load or according to a Chinese proverb "preserve our strength and fatigue the en
- What happened to S386 I heard that all objections were dropped? Is that true? Did it pass the Senate?
- Any s386 news? Any s386 news?
- vote S386 bill rather than give power to consultancy companies to give out greencard how about we make a leetcode interview for all those who want greencards?
- 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 #
- link S386 negotiations Any source on this? Looks like it will make it this year if there is a source. https://twitter.com/OMSHRI33210494/status/1199652515328995329
- link S386 will IMPROVE DIVERSITY & Wages in tech S386 is a fairness bill that will make all employment seeking immigrants go through the same process regardless of country birth. This means applying for work visas instead of Employment Based green card as the first step. Right now the biggest work visa aka H1b is dominated by people from backlogg

- Durbin pushing for S386? this tweet doesn’t make sense. maybe Durbin was incorrectly tagged over Mike Lee.

- S386 has plenty of catches 😂 S386 durbin amendment says that you can file for I 485 and get I 485 EAD (which in my opinion is no different than F1 OPT). This means that those who are trying multiple times on L1 visa for an h1b will be able to simply file for I 140 and after 2 years they will be eligible for EAD that is non res
- S386 Early EAD With new amendments in S386 everyone should be eligible to file for EAD. For all intrinsic purpose this gives benefits equivalent to green card except early path to citizenship. @ROW this sounds win win to me, what's your reason for still opposing this bill?
- S386 : what's the latest ? Anyone aware of the latest on S386 ? I am not able to find relevant latest info on this bill. EB2 India seems to be a forever queue :( #h1b #eb2
- link Why S386 should not pass, but will pass There are two problems: 1. Too many candidates from one particular country. When diversity is not kept people don’t integrate, communicate between their culture only, bring all their relatives, hire only from their country, nothing good. No any country should get more than 10% of H1B or GC. 2. The

- Why S386 is the ultimate 'Do Harm' bill As someone not from India it would be a disaster for me and millions of other families if S386 ever passes. It is the ultimate 'do severe harm' bill to any American immigrant that isn't an Indian. The facts: 1) through fraud and schemes with corporations solely dedicated to abuse the skilled immig
- ROW hates S386: READ THE POST “””””PLEASE READ THIS POST. IT IS NOT SAME AS OTHER S386 POSTS ON BLIND”””” We know ROW hates S386 for obvious reasons. No one would like to loose the advantage they have even though it being unfair. But this post is not about that. The question is will ROW still hate this bill if it do the this. 1.
- What are chances of s386? Looks like durbin going to cave in after recent protests portraying him as racist. What others think?
- Future of legal immigration after S386 failure Now that s386 has failed what would the future of legal immigration look like? Given that congress doesn't have dem majority in both houses, CIR or even expansion of green cards are unlikely. Even if s386 gets reintroduced it won't hold a chance given that 1)Dem senators will only advocate for expa
- Update from Senator Dick Durbin on S386 *got the following email response from senator:* Thank you for contacting me regarding the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019 (S. 386).

- S386 if it passed If the bill is passed, the number of foreign students from India will explode in anticipation of GC. They may not get GC due to limits, but the unchecked OPT will ensure anyone making decent TC will be replaced quickly. with OPT candidates. After all, anyone can leetcode. Be careful what you wish
- Sen Rick Scott's amendment to S386 Rick Scott's proposed amendment must be the dumbest amendment ever.
