US has issued 200,000 F1s to Indian students to study in the US. Most of them will plant to stay longer. There are no visa limits for F1 but limits on H1b 85000 and Greencards (about 28000 to India) per year. But they have no solution to the growing backlog.
In order to utilize available employment based visas, we urge anyone who may be eligible for an employment-based adjustment of status to file their adjustment of status application, accompanied by a valid Form I-693, as soon as possible. Learn more: https://t.co/HgDKmtMRLu
My son Dylan was shot at least five times in his classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary. He died at just 6 years old. Yet in the years since, not nearly enough has been done to save lives like Dylan’s. Sign our petition demanding action to prevent school shootings. – Nicole
One of my immigration reform bills, America's Children Act, which has bipartisan support, would provide a pathway to citizenship for children of long-term visa holders who have been waiting for a green card. https://t.co/Co2L5sczEm
Asked Sen. TILLIS if his green card recapture proposals have come up in the bipartisan immigration negotiations with DURBIN, CORNYN, and PADILLA.
"That'll be in the mix when we get to some of the work-related visas," said Tillis. "We haven't done that yet."
🧵Today’s decision on immigration by SCOTUS is cruel. Mr. Patel spent decades in the U.S. as a permanent resident, but now faces deportation for simply checking the wrong box on a driver’s license renewal application. We need to fix this broken system. https://t.co/tnTt3wkrY2
I agree only if they add healthcare professional degrees, like MDs, DPT, BSN, etc. Currently, the definition of a STEM degree excludes these vital workers, which is ridiculous.
Senate Latino Dems met with Biden, Harris today to push for exec action on immigration. "We renewed our call for the Biden administration to use its existing legal authority to protect Dreamers, TPS holders & hardworking immigrant families" -Menendez, Cortez Masto, Luján, Padilla
House Judiciary Committee passed the EAGLE Act in the full committee and sent the bill to the House for the floor vote. This is a great day!!
We request the House leadership to bring up EAGLE Act for the floor vote expeditiously to send the bill to the Senate.
"I think the country caps are an artificial restriction and it depresses wages because it means people can't get a green card and that they stay on H1 visas which then they don't have the same mobility. At a time of inflation you want to have legal immigration..." - @RoKhanna
For generations, the dreams and hard work of immigrants like Athulya & her mother have strengthened our communities. They make America the great nation we are.
My heart goes out to her family, and to every person hurt by our country's outdated, overly complex immigration system.
This piece by @allisonmcneely shows how visa and work permit delays are hurting more than a million workers. Immigration reforms could go a long way toward addressing this growing problem. https://t.co/ZJpBOTTh2q
Fantastic immigration news for doctors and nurses. The Senate version of the Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act added 10 new co-sponsors just now and there are 12 Republican and 12 Democratic co-sponsors which means it is filibuster-proof. This one is ready to move!
"They had a 50 year wait for green cards and their children as dependents had grown up in Iowa, but when they reached 21, they would have to leave. Ultimately, they left their patients for the sake of their children."-@RepZoeLofgren
