I have been watching for few days the news on S386/HR1044 , the bill has created a perfect
divide between the ROW, India and China (Specially the EB5), I understand the plight of Indian and Chinese(Eb5) where they worried more about their H4 Kids which are aging out. They not worried about their greencard, they are fighters with all the visa renewal process.

But at the same time we need to understand we cannot have this problem passed on to the Kids of ROW.

S386 kind of solution will create division among Genuine Hardworking Legal Tax Paying Resident.

Solution needs to be such that which is win win for everyone(ROW,China,India and President) and here is what I propose.

Currently the biggest challenge is not the 7% country cap, but the inclusion of FAMILY MEMBERS
in Employment visa category.

Due to this even if a country with 7% cap gets 10K visa, every family members are added to it the greencard count get reduced to 1/3 (3.3K).

We should try to have a Bill Passed which will have the Employment Category greencard only for the Employees. For Spouse/Kid use greencard from Family category quota (which are more than 1/2 million) . This will make everyone happy.

India Eb2/Eb3 backlog will be cleared in 3 years
China EB5 backlog will be cleared in 4 years.
China Eb3/2 will become current.
ROW will have more Greencard, which will spill over to backlog countries.
President goal of having family visa only for Spouse and Kids.
And last we can have a 5K Dollar Border security fee added to the Employment Greencard, which will help them collect 1 Billion Annually.

  • I’m Chinese living in states. I don’t care about s386;

    If it fails, nothing changes, not bad;

    If it passes, the US makes a huge mistake of stopping talents coming from globe except India, especially China. Which really solves a problem for China from her perspective that most top students flow into US every year.
    As China is getting stronger (including the living standard and pay) day by day, I don’t think it’s a bad thing either.

      Yes those who are already backlogged. Those who are coming now will get GC alongside the fellow Indians.

      This is where I feel the bill should have been less aggressive and talked about 10 year ramp.

    The root cause is the bar to qualify for eb3 is embarrassingly low and Indian consulting companies took advantage of that by spamming zillions of garbage applications. Eb2 then got clogged up when these spam applications graduated to that queue just for working five years in their dead and job.

    The solution is to raise the minimum qualification and send the low quality applicants packing.

    Either put on place a points system, or else just raise the minimum qualification so they no longer qualify.

    Either solution will get quick greencards to those in good companies.

      The best way to merge them is through a points system that checks your overall merit not only based on employment but on all factors.

      Add points for having family connections in the US.

      Especially when you look at these low skilled consulting applications from India it's not clear that any of them are better for the country than someone with ANY skilled job also has family here. In addition, from among those low skilled applicants I prefer those the have family here.

      I'd take an electrician or a plumber with family in the US ahead of yet another $80k/yr IT worker, even if the IT guy has some bogus master's from some fourth rate school.

  • So what will happen to kids n spouse?

  • There you go. I thought about S386 and I realized they have failed from the beginning even if it looks promising. They just made an enemy out of everybody else. The the only possible solution has to be a win win for all parties.
