- link S386/HR1044 (per country caps removal bill) on fox news Some senators in the judiciary are trying to add the per country bill to the asylum bill as an amedment. if this happens, the S.386 will pass the Senate without any hearing or discussions. . Watch Lou Dobbs talk about 386 in the video below @1:55 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLauwLCW-iY&feature
- 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
- Reminder to keep an eye out for bills like S386 this year Here is a reminder to always be vigilant and keep an eye out on the activities of Immigration Voice and the new India-first and pro-outsourcing bills they will try to sneak in and buy out from our politicians. #s386 #h1b #workvisa
- 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?
- Bad time to switch jobs for Indians/Chinese I was considering a job change but recently learnt about the S386 bill and that it passed the senate. My i140 has been approved for ~2 years now and switching jobs would entail filing for new perm and i140 all over again. Given that is this a bad time to switch jobs for people from India and China #
- Immigration voice - F U S386 was a horrible bill and not fair. If they really wanted to change something, they could have taken small steps like increase GC % for people born in India or have a different queue for folks with US degree. But, they came up and lobbied for a very unfair bill which has lead to just one thing
- 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. So long as more people apply than there are spots you will get a growing waiting list. Mathematical fact. HR1044/S386 does NOTHING to solve that. Removing the country caps n
- will this be true or rumour?? Got this info from friends.... Buzz around DC Immigration attorney’s is that Trump may be signing a new Executive order to allow everyone who has an approved I-140 to apply for 485 and be granted 485 EADs as early as August 10. This is going to benefit over 300K Indians plus 300K dependents, who h
- 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.

- link Rand Paul introduces S2091, the better HR1044/S386 To all the Rand Paul haters (who blocked S386): I guess you were wrong. He just introduced S2091 which includes a variant of S386 (i.e. it removes country caps) but at the same time significantly increases (eff. 4x) the total number of available GCs, especially employment-based GCs. This should effe
- 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
