It doesnt get worse than selecting high skilled immigrants based on language. Whats next? height, weight or any other physical characteristics. @SenRickScott has blocked the attempt to end racism in #USA esp. directed towards legal hardworking immigrants. End #racism#YesS386
The current #Immigration system literally does the exact opposite now. It does even work for high skilled Indians who want to immigrate legally. #ImmigrationReform is long due and Congress needs to make it happen.
@PramilaJayapal Comrade, your own inaction in BBB and inability to confront obstructionists like @senatordurbin speaks louder than words.
Twitter slacktivism isn't what immigrants need. Show up when its your turn and take action when it's needed.
..I'm saying this again.
just because you have a graduation from an Amercian university does NOT GIVE YOU A JOB OR WORK VISA.
you, like all other H1B applicants, will be in a LOTTERY SYSTEM (yes, a lottery system) that decides your fate - not your degrees, universities, certificates, medals, achivements... nothing.. nothing matters.
In this era of shortage of high skilled workforce this should be an easy fix but in reality fixing high skilled immigration seems the most difficult and the last priority. Not sure if system want me to work hard to deliver the best patient care and spend time to advocate to improve healthcare system in the US? I rather end up spending significant amount of time advocating to fix high skilled immigration. We are are loosing with this failed policy of not to fix legal immigration. @POTUS@USCIS@USCISDirector@SecMayorkas
Understanding the challenges: "For new applicants from India, the backlog for the EB‑2 and EB‑3 categories is effectively a life sentence: 134 years." However, when considering the impact of deaths and age-outs, it reduces to 'only' 54 years. https://t.co/6AbHVhf8YN
MA State Gov. will pay $410 EAD fee for asylum seekers & get work permits within 6 wk
Legal H4 EAD workers wait for more than 8-12 months even after paying $410 from their hard earned money.
They r still forced to lose their job (if renewal does not come within time)
One country, two sets of rules!

@papavaritis All of his commentary here. He lies about green card recapture and documented dreamers. He’s an “all or nothing” obstructionist.

New @CatoInstitute@David_J_Bier data shows that the wait time for Indian Nationals to get EB2/3 is 134 years. When taking into account mortality rate and abandonment it’s 54 years.
This is a completely unfair and absurd system and needs change.

Shocking: "For new applicants from India, the backlog for the EB‑2 and EB‑3 categories (which are combined because applicants can move between them) is effectively a life sentence: 134 years. " https://t.co/Vyo2A5SEEC
Please alert me in the comments if you see any business or prominent people calling for EAD/AP for all nuclear families with an approved I-140 for over 180 days. I’d like to highlight their support. In the meantime, ask your employers whether they’d be willing to support this.
As the largest organization of members currently on H1B visa stuck in green card backlogs, we completely agree with @VivekGRamaswamy & others willing to speak the truth: H1B visa is, in fact, indentured servitude that only benefits the company that sponsors the visa, but is bad for everyone else. We agree - it is time to gut H1B #H1isHumanTrafficking

H-1Bs get 3-year, limited mobility work status even after working for 20 years in the same job.
But you cross the southern border and make an asylum claim, you get a 5-year unconditional work permit and quickly a greencard.
To be clear, I am not against this change (I support it). I am just extremely disappointed there is no sympathy or compassion for 1 million taxpaying legal immigrants suffering from statutory discrimination who now have far less rights than those who entered on July 31, 2023.
If @uscis does not immediately move to issue EADs and advance paroles to anyone with an approved I-140 that has been in a green card backlog for longer than 180 days—we will know for sure what is going on here (and I will tell you it is not pretty).
What does providing 500,000 work permits to currently undocumented workers have in common with refusing to provide labor mobility and free agency to 1 million skilled workers who are currently indentured to their employers? Will take all guesses below. There is a right answer.
If you were at a restaurant and they had a chart like this for when you could get a table if you were of a certain ethnicity —-how many people would lose their minds!! How can this Administration stay so indifferent to doing anything/something to help these people!!
@FrescoLeon This is really bad policy to hold or exploit them after approved immigrant petition. It means administration is helping companies to exploit foreign workers. Staying legally for 10 years is long period. If people are coming after 25 age& wait for 10 years their half life is gone.
