& Keep reaching out to community & lawmakers with this unseen side of immigration impacting the Indian community & the American economy!
Thank you, Congressman Rich McCormick, for appreciating the valuable contributions of the Indian community. US is the only country that discriminates skilled immigrants by birth country. It's time for Congress to reform the #immigration system. #GCBacklog

How are people in the #GCbacklog managing their mental health?
Please write your own experience.
I am collecting the ways Indians/Chinese are keeping mental harmony while going through the USA Employment GC process which discriminates on birth country.
Was LIVE a little while ago on the @NewDay with @brikeilarcnn
I'm glad for this opportunity to show the world the problem with immigration system in the US with those on #h1b stuck in Green Card backlog and now stuck in India!
Holler if you tuned in

Support for #HR1044 & #S386 has been unprecedented with now more than 30 organizations signing the letter requesting passage of this bill! It will be a shame if congress loses this opportunity in spite of such a huge bipartisan support! @RepZoeLofgren@SenRickScott@SenMikeLee
SIIA and 20 other organizations have reached out to all 535 Congress offices requesting them to act upon ending country of birth discrimination. If you know an org who will support, please reach out with a copy of this letter & request to sign. Let's get it done! #HR1044#S386
If you have yet to see it, "From the Land of Gandhi" @FTLOGFILM is now available on Amazon Prime. It was great to join @PrakashWadhwa on his "Be The Change" campaign. @SIIA_US is proud to be a part of it.

How the US treats skilled H-1B workers: 1) cannot apply for permanent status on their own; 2) cannot be unemployed for more than 60 days ever; 3) children lose status at age 21; 4) spouse/children mostly can't work; 5) can only work for H-1B employers; 6) long waits for Indians
Wishing a very Happy Birthday to the legend Lucky Ali🎂

As a business immigration lawyer in practice for 23 years now I can attest my clients have been more job creators than job takers. Immigrants make our country strong, not the reverse.
*NEW* from @fwdus High-Skilled Immigration - 5 Things to Know
Highly skilled immigrants create jobs and raise wages for U.S. workers, but the system is outdated, and reforms are needed to protect America's competitive advantage.

BREAKING - Govt will now allow H-1Bs stuck abroad due to the visa bans to get visas if they are returning to jobs they have held in the US before departing.
Another day, another EO on H-1B. The big one is of course DOL and USCIS asked to look at all H-1B applications to make sure American workers are protected.
