But the 380,000 employment based visas take effect only after 5-8 years from the enactment of law.

So, for the first 5 fiscal years, I think we can not take anything from 380,000 and thus limited to existing 140,000.
 
The "C" you refer to is not the "C" of Bill. It is "C" of existing law which is family based visa.

I don't think, the 'C' it refers to is under the same sub-section if they refer to a different 'C' they write the complete path like 5(1)(C) and not simple C...so to say it may be good for us…depends how they implement it.
