This bill is an amendment to the house version of the DHS funding bill which will be voted on in the next few weeks. HR 392 aims to remove the per country caps on employment based green cards and decrease backlog. It will mostly help Indians who have been waiting in line 10+ years and hurt everyone else. Is there still a chance that HR 392 can be passed as part of the DHS bill this month? Pro Indian organizations such as Immigration Voice keep working hard to lobby Congress for this bill and claim that it will pass this month. I am very worried about the possibility that it gets passed.

  • I like how people say it would hurt others whereas now an Indian who came here legally, has applied for an employment based GC in 201x, will pay taxes for decades would realistically be getting it later than someone from ROW who is not even born yet.

    • @123raj we should deport you, toxic and fake people like you don’t deserve to be here.

      Condemning his own country and people, such a loser. A Racist who hates his own race 😅

  • Keep dreaming bro. Without country quota US will become India. Country quota is there to ensure diversity.

    • I agree with the second statement and I wish it weren’t the case. But the fact of the matter is, there is a dearth of tech skills in the US which is why recruiters have a bit more difficulty finding people if they don’t sponsor visas. So either we fix the supply-gap within the US (tech education for citizens or hire H1bs), or companies will simply ship the jobs overseas.

      The point I am trying to make is more about macro economics when it comes to removing the per country barrier, considering the demand and supply as of 2018. But yeah, very low chance of this thing passing in any case.

    • They are not finding talents they are looking for because people that can satisfy their standard are mostly the people from the same country. Unconscious bias is strong in many many people in tech.

    True. If per country cap is removed US will become India. They will never let that happen.

    • How will US become India, can you elaborate? Only 15% of the visas are employment based. Of these 15% majority of the people are already in US.

      No, it’s true.. I heard they were shipping over Narmada damn on 4 oil tankers. Amit Sharma is becoming mayor of New Jersey. If this passes GOP m movers are obliged by law to touch the feet of a cow before every vote

  • Best of luck my Indian and Chinese friends. I heard how you guys suffer with dilemma of visa rejections and job loss. All I can suggest is keep working hard to get it removed for your better life.
