VERY CLOSE to settling class case seeking stand-alone H4 EAD auto-extensions and L2 EADs incident to status. Hopefully this week. Will be a sea change for L2s and similar visas (looking at you E2 spouses) and a BIG step forward for H4 EADs. Still work to do! #litigationcanwork
Crisis level USCIS processing delays have forced thousands of skilled immigrant women, incl. essential workers & small biz owners out of livelihoods in middle of pandemic
We are grateful to .@ethanbaron for amplifying this urgent issue & urge .@SecMayorkas to #ResolveH4EADdelays
Thank you .@lalitkjha for amplifying #H4EADdelays that are wreaking havoc in the lives of immigrant women in US, mostly from India.
On #InternationalWomensDay it is a timely reminder of challenges faced by skilled legal immigrants in #GCbacklog due to discriminatory country caps
@HomelandDems@SecMayorkas@DHSgov Thousands of immigrant women of color are being forced out of their livelihoods & subject to daily struggles on basic items like renewing drivers license due to astronomical #H4EADdelays
We urge .@HomelandDems to address this humanitarian crisis with .@SecMayorkas next week.
While we continue to seek relief for #H4EADdelays, we recognize that this disproportionately impacts women born in India due to discriminatory country caps.
We request our volunteers to call .@RepZoeLofgren and request to bring Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act for a vote
Despite inclement weather, our determined volunteers in OR came out to bring much needed attention to #H4EADdelays & discriminatory country caps.
We urge .@HomelandDems to bring this up with .@SecMayorkas during March 17 hearing & request @POTUS .@VP to provide immediate relief.
Heartfelt gratitude to Hon'ble .@RepBonnie for raising #H4EADdelays issue with @SecMayorkas. We are determined to resolve this under your leadership
Shout out to our volunteers across country for advocating tirelessly to bring this issue front & center for .@HomelandDems hearing
Dhara Bhavsar, from VA, is an essential worker who dedicated 9 years of her life to become nurse practitioner. #H4EADdelays have forced her to sit at home, rather helping her patients
We urge .@SecMayorkas to take swift action to #ResolveH4EADdelays as promised to .@RepBonnie
It is now faster for an H-4 visa holder to get Canadian PR without setting foot in the country than getting EAD in the US where he/she has been living for the past decade. This is an #Immigration crisis. #h4eaddelay
We’d like to express our deepest gratitude to the Hon'ble Mayor Marotta of Rocky Hill, CT for giving her voice to our call to resolve #H4EADdelays
“We will be reaching to our federal delegation. We’re definitely here for you” she said.
We are immensely grateful to Hon’ble CT State Rep Kerry Wood for committing to lead us through crisis and resolve #H4EADdelays.
“I cannot wait to work with you towards success. We’re going to make change”, she said.
Heartfelt gratitude to Hon’ble CT State Senator .@MattLesser for his leadership in helping us resolve #H4EADdelays
“This is such an outrage” he said.
Thank you for calling on Congress & @Potus to fix this issue.
Today our CT volunteers drew attention to #H4EADdelays that force immigrant women out of their livelihoods. Grateful to Hon'ble State Sen .@MattLesser, State Rep Wood & Mayor Marotta who joined them
We urge .@SecMayorkas to take swift action on this
.@RepBonnie .@RepJohnLarson
@VP Unreasonable policies are causing unprecented processing delays effectively killing #H4EAD, that you so passionately championed in past, forcing skilled immigrants (mostly women of color) out of jobs
We urge you Madam .@VP for immediate relief to #ResolveH4EADdelays & #SaveH4EAD
