If you agree keep retweeting this link every day, Don't put efforts on other option which are not going to work, we need to come together as legal resident. https://twitter.com/ResidentUs/status/1180530051332206594?s=20 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.
Good proposal.
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.
First, this is clearing backlog by providing additional visas and that would be blocked by immigration hawks. Second, this doesn’t address discrimination against which I’m talking about. Discrimination by country of birth is useless and bad. Third, I think the better alternative is to include legal sin DACA bill.
No additional greencard provided . limit of 1 million greencard will still be there yeah family category visa will be use for family
That means extra people will get in, right? Did you see republicans are trying to cut existing family visas? I’m ok with this proposal as long as it also removes the country cap. As an India born American it’s discriminatory to me also. I agree that the current bill is not sustainable. They should have more ramp period built it.
I am neither Chinese nor Indian. I against S386 because I did not see any benefit to me.
Agreed that why 5k dollar added for border security
F2A for Indians and most of the countries are backlogged by 2 to 3 years. Which spouse is going to wait even longer? Goodluck man.
Why they have to wait they will be there with EAD which is as good as greencard
This is assuming that they can file 485 and get an Ead. The process is I130 first and wait for PD to be current to file 485. Spouse and children in F2A has to to wait for PD to be current to file 485. Second the sponsor has to be a GC holder to apply for his spouse and children.
Now if you move spouse to F2A the backlog will increase to 10 years or more. Your solution just transfers the backlog from one category to next. Doesn’t really solve the problem. Ratio on an average will be 2:1 atleast that is moving Wife and kid to family based which might backlog Family based.
No they won’t. They need to wait for PD to be current to file 485. If PD gets backlogged then nothing moves or happens.
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.
Why would they stop others coming in? It’s the same wait time as that of Indians and Indians are still coming. Chinese have already stopped coming and I don’t see a way to reverse this trend.
I don’t know who do you mean ‘they’, but if s386 passes, no one but Indians can get gc in the following decades
So what will happen to kids n spouse?
They will also get the greencard, but it would consider from the family category (which has 1/2 million greencard)
When a person with greencard marry , spouse also get greencard in 3-5 months, for instant support they can be on EAD
