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 Oct 2021 and become a law in Oct 2022?

  • The only solution to this problem was where Trump's immigration EOs would have stopped family immigration and screwed over 80% of H1Bs by stringent salary requirements. With Trump and his policies gone, there's no hope whatsoever.

    • Wrong. There are more desperate immigrants from the Middle East and Africa (even some eastern bloc countries). Collectively, more of these immigrate every year than the total number of Indians waiting for an EB GC. They haven't been asked to go back and "fix problems" in their own country.

      The problem is that the Indians who arrived in say 2011 and filed for an EB2 the same year were expecting a 4 year wait based on priority date movement back then. Now, 10 years later, PDs have moved little. After they already have a family etc in this country, expecting them to uproot everything to move back to where they came from because "this country doesn't owe them anything", when anyone else from anywhere in the world can get a GC in two years, is a weak argument.
      The loudest opponents of s386 were Irani people/immigrants. Ever asked them why they aren't going back or staying back to fix their country?

      Almost all immigration into the US has been by people who were looking to leave behind problems in their origin countries. Fixing problems in your country before immigrating here was never the criteria, was it?

    • Which brings me to my original point: Trump was asking everyone to stay/go back (and "fix their country"). Only a few with high wages could stay - you know, the ones with highest earning potential, the best in their respective fields. Now that's fair!

    Indians would be smart to forget the country cap changes and just focus on passing i485 EAD early filling + preventing age out of kids. That alone would help a lot.

    • @jobfinder, I never said kids aging out isn't a problem. My point is that backloggers have been greedy and expect more than what can be offered. Just like how you're asking for EAD with no strings attached. You're high expectations is why your kids are going to have to get deported.

      All people are asking is to same wait time irrespective of country. If each country had 100 years of wait time, many wont complain as much.

  • Truth is USA does not want more Indians to permanently immigrate. No such bill ever pass.

      No it didn't otherwise it would be on the presidents desk. In 2019 S386 passed house but died in Senate. Now it passed Senate with a lot of poison pills to die in house. Expect the circus to continue. It will be very difficult to pass in 2021 as House and Senate will be split politically.

    It’ll pass, it takes time because it’s almost a zero sum bill and will always have opponents.

    Next time it should start from the current bill minus the Rick Scott amendment and try to include it inside something else.

    This year it just ran out of time. With a favorable President it should be better.

    Unrelated but family visa spillover probably will provide more boost than this would have provided. 120k visa this year + 50k at least in the next should be something that would help backloggers. India EB1 will be current and EB2 will be ahead by 2 years.

      We also had quota in admissions till it was litigated. Also this doesn’t apply to immigration laws, so I’m not claiming it’s unconstitutional. It’s just discriminatory.

    • Anyone wanna bet that a Republican will block it in the senate again next year? Regardless of the version, i GUARANTEE you Republicans will block it just like they did this year, one after another.
