We are grateful to @RepBourdeaux & @RepMariaSalazar for introducing common sense bipartisan legislation #HR7442 to protect, strengthen & simplify work authorization for H4 spouses.

We also urge support to pass #HR3648 to address root cause of #GCbacklog

Our heartfelt gratitude to @RepZoeLofgren for her leadership to remove discriminatory per-country caps and make our immigration system fair & equitable through #HR3648

May this be the year!

[Save H4EAD @SaveH4EADs]

We applaud the scheduled markup of EAGLE Act #HR3648 and request our volunteers to call their members of congress in @HouseJudiciary @JudiciaryGOP to request support for the passage of the bill.

Its long past due to remove discriminatory per-country caps.

@USCISDirector @USCIS It's been a year since #WomenForcedToQuit marched in #WomensHistoryMonth to highlight #H4EADdelays & #GCbacklog due to national origin discrimination.

So far nothing substantial has changed. #EADdelays & #GCwastage continue unabated. Lot more can be & should be done immediately.

On the employment immigration side, its a double whammy for immigrant women of color - decades long #GCbacklog due to discriminatory per-country caps, followed by bureacratic inefficiencies leading to massive #GCwastage and #H4EADdelays

Lets hear from few immigrant women👇

[Save H4EAD @SaveH4EADs]

We stand in solidarity with thousands of immigrants today participating in #DayWithoutImmigrants to highlight the broken immigration system that has kept millions trapped with limited rights & unrealized potential.

[Save H4EAD @SaveH4EADs]

We have long advocated to protect, preserve & strengthen right of immigrant women to work.

We whole heartedly support this effort to draw attention to the urgent need for immigration reform & encourage our volunteers #H4EAD #GCBacklog to participate in the #DayWithoutImmigrants

@bchesky An insurance option for travelers, for unforeseen last minute cancellations.

[Save H4EAD @SaveH4EADs]

Today our volunteers met with .@doug_rand, Senior advisor to .@USCISDirector to discuss about #H4EADdelays & #GCwastage

We are grateful for the positive discussions on these critical issues impacting high skilled immigrants in decades long #GCbacklog

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

The Senate parliamentarian blocked a path to including revenue raising immigration reform in reconciliation. Now the Senate must find another way to include these vital reforms to clear the H1B backlog and increase government revenue by $463 billion. https://t.co/rR3CxpAj3s

[Save H4EAD @SaveH4EADs]

While we rally behind inclusion of 60002-4 in Senate recon bill, we continue to highlight impact of national origin discrimination on Indian immigrants.

We met .@RepJahanaHayes staff to discuss #H4EADdelays & requested her leadership for CT delegation cosponsorship of #HR3648

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

Full recapture of wasted green cards since 1992 – a provision that I successfully fought for in the House Judiciary Committee’s portion of the Build Back Better Act – would result in an added $1 trillion to GDP over the next 10 years. 1 TRILLION DOLLARS!

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

After pushing for this, I’m encouraged that the House Judiciary Committee included reform for the employment-based green card backlog in their portion of the Build Back Better Act. This will help CLEAR the 1.2 MILLION backlog & improve our economy.

On #LaborDay let's remind that more than 100,000 immigrant #WomenForcedToQuit labor force due to .@USCIS bureacratic inefficiencies causing unprecedented #H4EADdelays

This, on top of being discriminated by per-country caps that prioritize country of birth over skills #HR3648

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

I led 40 Members of Congress in a letter to Congressional leadership calling for an end to the arbitrary country cap on employment-based green cards. There are 1.2 million people stuck in this backlog waiting to contribute GREATLY to our economy.

Sincere gratitude to @CongressmanRaja @RepKManning & @RepDeborahRoss for leading delegation letter urging @TheDemocrats leadership @SpeakerPelosi & @SenSchumer to include relief for skilled legal immigrants in reconciliation.

Many thanks to our volunteers for calling their reps.

[Save H4EAD @SaveH4EADs]

We are immensely grateful to Hon'ble .@RepZoeLofgren who couldn't make it, but provided a statement of support & have faith that under her leadership, issues that plague skilled legal immigrant community will be resolved including root cause of discriminatory country caps #HR3648
