Updated Data: Green card recapture would allow the U.S. to access at least 300,000 Congressionally-authorized green cards that have gone to waste due to decades of administrative delays https://t.co/Q1Va2NdG8C

[Steven Brown @AttyStevenBrown]

It doesn’t increase the expected number of GCs. Just let’s Congress recapture what the executive wasted. adding 300,000 back would have a tremendous impact on #gcbacklog. Let’s do it Congress

Since the skill based EB category has 7% birth country cap, the category should be renamed from "Employment Based" to "Diversity based on Job Offer," which is the true intent of this category. Maybe Congress should pass an #Immigration bill to clarify that. Oh wait....

Reviewing supporting docs for an H-1B extension I am filing. The employee began his H-1B status in 2008. This is the 10th H-1B petition being filed on his behalf. He started the green card process a decade ago, but can’t be approved for it. Why? Because he was born in India.

[Sivakumar S @realSivaKumarS]

everyone in Congress knows that the per-country caps are discriminatory and racist.
Need to action @SenateGOP @SenateDems @JudiciaryGOP @HouseDemocrats

1. Remove #PerCountryCaps
2. Protect Ageing Out Kids

150yrs wait is Absurd ‼️

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A new report from @BPC_Bipartisan shows that the Dignity Act’s green card backlog provision ALONE would grow the economy by almost $4 trillion, and Florida’s GDP by a massive 36%!

Congress has the power to unleash the American economy. Let’s get it done!

12/10 Good Morning @POTUS @USCISDirector @DHSgov @doug_rand Please stop brain drain & provide relief to many skilled workers with “EAD+AP” after a certain time period, given their I140 approval, for those who are waiting in never ending #greencardbacklog & stuck in #countrycap

Listen to Bhumika Prem, who shares her arduous journey as #H4Dreamer. To help 1000s of legal immigrants like her, US Congress so far has only provided words of sympathy and assurances but no action!

Looking how Canada is actively poaching H-1Bs talent, Senator Durbin did the only thing Congress is good at - introducing and reintroducing #immigration bill that goes nowhere. US has the most outdated immigration system cos Congress hasn't passed a bill in 30 years. #GCBacklog

@elonmusk @garrytan 👉 Diversity in skill-based Greencards is as UN-AMERICAN as employability in diversity Greencards

Someone always wins when another loses. I’m sure our lawmakers wakeup soon from deep sleep

If you consider #US as your destination for anything listed below:

Master's
PhD
Job

Stop to think about it a million times. Especially if you are from #India. This administration doesn't even consider the hardships faced by so many due to the archaic immigration system when it comes to #H1B, #greencardbacklog etc. People are reaching out to @TheDemocrats and @POTUS through numerous means, but they are oblivious to the hardships faced.

Here is the worst part when it comes to the plight of #Indians. We ARE the most successful group of immigrants by a mile. But some accounts make it sound like we are bad because of some bad apples.

TL;DR: If you are considering #US as your destination for anything listed above, DON'T.

Dear Americans,

The employment based immigration quota in the United State is 140,000/year fixed. @TravelGov publishes an openly discriminatory document called 'visa bulletin' which determines who gets these permanent residencies. Let's see if you understand this document and can determine who will get the permanent residency first out of these four scenarios, based on the July 2023 visa bulletin.

Note: Mexico means for people who are born in Mexico, not Mexican citizens.

Scenario 1: An Indian guy, who was born in India, who came to the United States to study after high school. Went through four years of pre-med, four years of medicine school, and finished 8 years of internship and residency to become a neurosurgeon. By the time he files his immigration petition, he has already lived in the United States for 16 years, obeyed all the laws, and has paid thousands of dollars in taxes over the years. Because of his qualification and articles he published over the years, his immigration petition gets approved in August 2022 in the 1st category.

Scenario 2: For this scenario you can take any country other than whose name you don't see in the picture but for an example, let's use Pakistan. A guy from Pakistan, who was born in Pakistan, who did four years of Bachelors in Computer Science at a local university. He got a job at a local software company and worked there for one year. He applied to a US based software firm and got recruited. The guy has never been to the United States before and hasn't paid any taxes to the United States yet. The US based software firm files immigration petition for this guy and it gets approved in April 2023 in the 3rd category.

Scenario 3: An Irish girl, who was born in India during two years her parents were on a business trip. She came to the United States from Ireland for her studies after finishing her high-school in Ireland. She finished her undergrad, grad and doctorate studies in the United States and is now doing critical research related to cancer immunology. By the time she files her immigration petition, she has already lived in the United States for 13 years, followed all the laws and paid thousands of dollars in taxes over the years. Because of her qualification and research articles she published her immigration petition gets approved in November 2022 in the 1st category.

Scenario 4:  A guy and girl, both from India and born in India, come to the United States for masters in Cybersecurity. After finishing their studies, they get a job at a leading cloud provider where they are responsible for securing data all the Federal agencies like FBI, NSA are storing at this cloud provider. After working for 2 years, this company filed their immigration petition which got approved in 2nd category in November 2012. They both get married. They saved and made a lot of wise financial investments over the years from their salary. In 2020, they decided to start their own business and apply for permanent residency in the 5th Unreserved category. Requirements of this category is to invest at least 1 million dollars and create 10 full-time jobs. They actually invested 1.1 million dollars and created 15 full-time jobs. Their another immigration petition gets approved in May 2020 in the 5th Unreserved category.

In summary, by July 2023, this couple had lived in the United States for 15 years, followed all the laws, paid thousands of dollars in taxes, invested more than a million dollars they saved after paying taxes, created 15 full-time jobs and had not one but two immigration petitions approved. One in 2nd category approved in November 2012 and another in 5th Unreserved category approved in May 2020.

Can you tell which scenario out of these four will get permanent residency first?

Any questions?

If you would be able to figure out what the right answer is, you understand how serious and unfair this issue is, which is compounding everyday.

Indian born Skilled Immigrants in the US play a very important role in the investment ecosystem. They are the true link between the two countries. But Indian born immigrants face the discriminatory #CountryCaps leading to decades of #GreencardBacklog @nsitharaman
