Time to end DEI in US immigration system. Only merit based green card.
RT & Like are not endrsmt

[Texas Techie (TT) @USTechWkr]

@mtgreenee It will stop world hunger as well.

[Texas Techie (TT) @USTechWkr]

@TheRahulMenon Congress works in such a way all these bill will be dead within 2 years. Later they will introduce again in next Congress.
Senator Durbin is introducing same bill from last 30-40 years.
But no action after that.

[Texas Techie (TT) @USTechWkr]

@USCIS @USDOL Except H1b (High Skilled Visa) rest all are legal pathway to US and are welcomed.
Why so much hate for legal worker coming on H1b?

[Sidharth @Cloudwatch199]

If H-1B will now cost $100K…

Then ⬇️
🎯 Diversity Visa should cost $500K
🎯 Chain Migration Visas should cost $750K
🎯 Refugee & Asylum approvals should cost $1M
🎯 TPS renewals should cost $650K
🎯 Parole gimmicks should cost $1M

Immigration must serve America’s interests, not be a free giveaway.

We have a set of laws mandating discriminatory treatment at every stage of the legal immigration process, particularly for Indians. They've been barred from adjusting to permanent residence for decades based on nothing more than their birthplace....

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

Indian H1Bs contributed an unfathomable amount to America: 100s of billions in taxes, 10s of billions more in fees, trillions in services. Among the most peaceful, intelligent, interesting people to grace our shores. And what do we give back? Demonization & discrimination...

[Sidharth @Cloudwatch199]

Refugees and undocumented immigrants are immediately eligible for Medicaid, cash welfare, and housing vouchers, while H-1B families DESPITE paying into those programs , are barred.

Sure, H1b's are the bad guys.

[Sidharth @Cloudwatch199]

H-4 spouses (mostly don't get EADs) , can’t work.

Kids of H-1b face deportation at 21.

Families live decades in limbo.

Tell me again who’s “privileged” here ?

[Sidharth @Cloudwatch199]

I just went through the X feeds of:

@amandalouise416
@USTechWorkers
@iaproject

1 ) Not a SINGLE post on the harm the Diversity Visa does to American workers. ( 55,000 PLUS DEPENDENTS)

2) Not a SINGLE post on illegal immigration displacing Americans. ( 1 MILLION EADs )

3) Not a SINGLE post on the Biden admin handing out EADs like hot cakes to the undocumented.

Not a SINGLE post questioning why there’s no labor test for Diversity, Family, or Refugee programs.
( 1 MILLION GREEN CARDS )

And not a SINGLE post on how all these programs can drag in entire families and extended families with no labor test, no wage checks, and automatic work permits.

But they obsessively attack H-4 EAD spouses of high skilled immigrants.

WHY?! Because this isn’t “worker advocacy.”

It’s a foreign funded propaganda grift, shielding dependency based pipelines while demonizing skilled contributors.

WAKE UP. You’re being played.

[Texas Techie (TT) @USTechWkr]

@Cloudwatch199 I laugh when people says American are displaced.
Look at the GC hand out each year without market labor test.
H1b is non immigrant temp visa. Doesn't lead to GC by itself.

[Texas Techie (TT) @USTechWkr]

@Cloudwatch199 Great tweet!!
But hater on Twitter are mostly became American quickly through those ways and started hate campaign.

[Texas Techie (TT) @USTechWkr]

@DcWalaDesi @RepMariaSalazar @RepEscobar On top of that they call it Fairness bill. But Fairness is missing.

[Texas Techie (TT) @USTechWkr]

@DcWalaDesi @RepMariaSalazar @RepEscobar Wait for 10 years in backlog which is lot of time then pay 50k. Is this immigration reform or extortion bill? It should Either 10 years or 50k to get out of backlog.

[GreenLantern @IGCBacklog]

South-African white farmers could get on-arrival Greencards BUT 1.2 Million Doctors, Engineers & IT professionals already living in the USA for decades continue to suffer in Greencard backlog.

If it is not racism & oppression than what is it ?

@elonmusk was so vocal during Biden tenure but is completely silenced on this topic since November 2024.

Check out the dates USCIS published for June 2025 for Indian High-skilled immigrants 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

@SenatorDurbin Thank you Senator for your service. Hopefully some real hardworking person will replace you. Who will do some actual work and not just Introducing and blocking bills.

Reviewing an H-1B transfer petition this afternoon, and I am again reminded of the inequities in our employment-based immigration system. The worker came to the US in 2010, has had 8 H-1B petitions filed on his behalf, obtained 6 visa stamps at the consulate, started his green card process 15 years ago, has 2 I-140 approvals, and it may still be another 5 years before a green card becomes available to him. Despite this, with his current employer change, he faces the hurdle of securing yet another approved I-140. His wife has had to file 4 H-4 renewals, obtain 4 visa stamps, and has filed 5 EAD applications. This long, drawn-out process is solely because they were born in India instead of any other country in the world. Anyone else would have not only had their green card by now, but would likely be a citizen. What does this delay accomplish for the United States? #ImmigrationReform #H1B

[𝕁𝕦𝕡𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕣🌝 @JupiterGalastic]

H-1B visa in 2015
priority date is 2/2017 EB2

8 H1B petitions
3 PERM approvals - 2 i140 approvals
4 Visa Stamping

My current employer filed a PERM petition (my third perm filing) Nov 13, 2023, approved today - March 12, 2025.
The I-140 approval process is expected to take another 8 months. I’m due for a promotion soon, but I’m unsure how it might affect my green card process if I accept the promotion.
