@passportsevamea
I have applied to renew my daughter passport and it is pending police verification. We have reached out to local police station(HAORA, HOWRAH-711102, WEST BENGAL. POLICE STATION: CHATTERJEEHAT) but the officer mentioned to wait and will call my mother.
America's current H1B skilled visa system is a complete giveaway to corporate America, primarily big tech. We bring in skilled foreigners only when a company sponsors them. The system then keeps many of these workers in a legal limbo, often for decades. That whole time they are tied to their sponsor company. Workers tied down like this are less able to negotiate salary and benefits. That's the main reason big tech loves hiring H1Bs.
American workers, who then have to compete with these foreign workers, are thereby hurt by unfair labor competition. And most perversely of all, these highly-skilled foreign workers are not even free to innovate or start their own companies and create jobs; the whole time; they are stuck on the current waiting lists.
Like so much of current federal policy that needs unwinding, our current skilled immigration system benefits big business at virtually everyone else's expense. High-profit tech companies and Indian consulting firms are the biggest exploiters of this broken system.
Those advocating for more skilled immigration (I include myself in this group) need to be more clear on the need for complete reform of this broken system. Those who aren't either don't understand it or aren’t being honest.
I’m thrilled to announce @Area51cast 's upcoming episode featuring @immivoice - pioneers of immigrant advocacy who have fundamentally reshaped the conversation on skilled immigration.
From championing H4-EAD to playing a critical role in lifting Senator Durbin's hold on the Fairness for Skilled Immigrants Act, IV has been the cornerstone of a unified advocacy movement. They've transformed how skilled immigrants navigate complex immigration challenges.
I’m reaching out to all of you to submit thoughtful, constructive questions you’d like answered by IV. While being in the immigration backlog is undeniably frustrating, I urge you to remember that many IV members have been tirelessly working behind the scenes, even when progress isn't immediately visible.
This isn't just an interview. This is a powerful moment of transparency and connection. The next 2 years are CRITICAL. The immigration landscape is shifting, and we need every perspective, every voice, every ounce of collective energy to drive meaningful change.
Submit your questions below. This is YOUR chance to engage directly with IV. I’ll do my best to incorporate them into the interview.

The countdown has begun! We're thrilled to announce that our documentary ALIEN: American Dream Denied (https://t.co/Y3FxwGdigh)will be available for broadcast nationally on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) stations starting November 9, 2024.
We're also excited to introduce our Gold Sponsor for this PBS broadcast: Pro Se Pro (https://t.co/n5BdJOoYyP) a groundbreaking immigration startup empowering individuals to navigate America’s complex legal landscape.
Pro Se Pro's work aligns perfectly with the stories of resilience, struggle, and hope that ALIEN aims to bring to light. Thanks so much, @johnmoye- have truly enjoyed collaborating with you, and I’m really looking forward to working together and helping bring attention to this important issue.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting journey!

Indians working in the US are in a living nightmare now.
Every 3yrs on an H-1B visa, you need to go back home and get it renewed. For the last few months, there are ZERO days open for people to get their visa stamped.
They're jailed in the US, and can't leave to see family
Hardik was selected for the USA cricket under 19 team, but was unable to play due to lack of SSN. He is currently a student at UC Irvine studying computer science and cybersecurity. As a child of a long term visa holder, he is at risk of aging out and being forced to leave.
New podcast is out. Love for American workers ❤️
I am not fighting Americans. They are my brothers and sisters.
I am fighting for American workers.
I am fighting for American workers to have equal pay. It can only happen when H1B people get green cards on time.
Otherwise employers would choose those who they can retain and pay less. That’s an H1B worker that they can keep for 100+ years.
I don’t believe in displacement. I believe in abundance. I came to America to create abundance. America is known in the world because of its way of looking at the world in abundance.
I came to a free country. A country that has a strong constitution that believes in freedom and liberty.
I am fighting for all of us. Freedom helps all of us live better lives.
We are free only when we are all free.
Appreciated the chance to meet with @immivoice about the importance of Congress passing the EAGLE Act, legislation I introduced in the Senate with @SenatorHick.

For over 18 years, the US has been my home. I came here for higher education and have since built a rewarding career and family (spouse and US-born children). Contributing as a taxpayer for the past 15 years, I continue to wait patiently for my Green Card application filed in 2013, while navigating the complexities of extended H1 and H4 visa renewals.
The lengthy processing times for legal immigrants like me create undue hardship. My wife's pending H4 extension application, submitted in July 2023, has caused disruption to our daily lives. Arizona DMV won't renew a driver's license for my wife until her H4 is approved, and without driver's license, managing family responsibilities and basic tasks has become extremely challenging.
It's frustrating to see significant benefits to illegal immigrants over patiently waiting legal immigrants. I urge for a more efficient and streamlined immigration system that recognizes the valuable contributions of legal immigrants and facilitates family stability by reducing processing times for Green Cards and dependent visas.
While it is trivial to enter the United States illegally, it is insanely difficult for legal immigrants to move to the United States.
This is madness! We should shut down illegal immigration and greatly increase legal immigration.
Thank you @SenateBudget for the opportunity to share my story.
We need to continue to work together to permanently end aging out. Please help support us at https://t.co/LeO7XhAFs4
Muhil has lived in the U.S. for nearly 20 years, but her future in this country is uncertain because of our broken immigration laws.

I live in a state of constant fear if will have to travel to India for a family emergency I won’t be able to return and will be separated from my family here in the US. Green card backlog is inhumane. People need to have dignity to travel. I have lived with this constant fear more than a decade now, between I797 extension, visa stamping delays and our professional commitments green card backlog sucks life out of you. It’s like always waiting for disaster to strike. @POTUS@USCISDirector@VP@SecMayorkas@USAmbIndia@CongressmanRaja@ajainb@RepShriThanedar@SenKevinCramer@DickDurbin
Despite growing up and giving back to his community in Iowa for two decades, Laurens was forced to self-deport due to our harmful, outdated immigration laws.
We must protect the American Dream for the 200,000+ people like Laurens. #ImmigrationFuelsGrowth
