I see lot of posts about GC backlog being cleared on the latest bill. I am here to reiterate that is not the case. Senate is not planning to add employment based provisions on the final bill. Senator Dick Durbin is resisting this provision as per Senator Padilla's office. Basically Senator Dick Durbin is SPITTING on the DEAD CORPSE of Indian legal immigrants. I would suggest you focus your energy on maximizing your TC on your time here. Make money until immigration gaffe hits you and return home with the wealth.

But more importantly CALL his office to find out the reason why he wants to discriminate against legal immigrants to get closure. His office #: 202-224-2152

  • No evidence Durbin doesn't support the EB amendments. Stop spreading FUD.

      In another post some guys were saying they called Padilla's office and they were told language was not changed. Really don't know what to believe.

      ^ I can 100% guarantee Padilla's office won't tell you that the provisions are there. If someone tells you they are lying. Even if the provisions are there, Padilla staffers would at max tell you, we are not aware of any changes. I called like 6 times in 2 days, 4 times they said they don't know, twice they said there has been some deliberation about including those provisions. Padilla will work on a separate bill even if it doesn't make it in reconciliation bill(guess what are the chances of that bill passing? 0).

    Or you could take 2 minutes and call his office to ask him to add the provisions. Too many naysayers among us is the reason we fail.

      Since they attacked Zoe L and Durbin after last years debacle they seem to have lost a lot of influence ; they were not invited for the hearing on Capitol Hill on backlog but all other players were. I truly appreciate iv advocacy but their methods off late are doing more harm than good.

    As per my understanding, the essential workers GC will cover most of the Indians in the backlog unless a change comes there as well.

    https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/essential_critical_infrastructure_workforce-guidance_v4.1_508.pdf

    A lot of backlogged spouses will qualify for these also. Example -

    Workers who support the education of pre-school, K-12, college, university, career and technical
    education, and adult education students, including professors, teachers, teacher aides, special
    education and special needs teachers, ESOL teachers, para-educators, apprenticeship supervisors,
    and specialists.

    Healthcare providers including, but not limited to, physicians (MD/DO/DPM); dentists; psychologists; midlevel practitioners;

    Workers enabling the sale of human food, animal food (includes pet food, animal feed, and raw materials
    and ingredients), pet supply, and beverage products at groceries, pharmacies, convenience stores, and
    other retail (including unattended and vending), including staff in retail customer support and information
    technology support necessary for on-line orders, pickup, anddelivery.

    Workers supporting communications systems, information technology, and work from home solutions
    used by law enforcement, public safety, medical, energy, public works, critical manufacturing, food
    and agricultural production, financial services, in person and remote education, and other critical
    industries and businesses.

    And a lot more. Even if you’re remotely related to the actual functionality of the job, your lawyer can present the case making you or your spouse in line with it. This would be regardless of your EB status and based on your presence in the country during COVID. You’re not dependent on labor certification or PD. This GC is one time and has no quota.

    • I don't get your point. People here were blaming Durbin despite his approval.
      Sep 19, 2021
    • Yep, you won’t get the point because I don’t think you understand how this all works based on your response. Durbin’s ‘approval (whatever you mean by that)’ means jackshit.

      He’s a typical ‘career politician’. He wants to be seen ‘solving things’ but gets nothing done. Check his track record. He’s only known for opposing and posturing. No work to show.
