You guys should all chill down a little bit before getting over-excited on this news. As others have mentioned before, this is just the first stage. It still has way to go. The bill may get amended, if the senate and\or house is not convinced of the need for all the items. Therefore, continued lobbying is important till the very end.
Don't forget what happened to an attempt earlier this year to recapture around 130,000 visas... senate finally agreed for recapture of 50000 only and that too for Schedule A category.
Other things to note is,
- Clarifications on per country quota.
- Clarifications on whether the order of usage for Schedule A folks will be
Out of main pool of 140K, followed by the latest recapture of 90K(if it happens), then the available visas from their earmarked 50K reserve.
so miles to go before we sleep.
