I think it is both for legal and illegal people. Can senior members or gurus please confirm this?
(1) are these two bills in two different links the same?

Here are the good points from this.
Raises the number of employment-based green cards from 140,000 to 290,000, and makes more visas available to high-tech and unskilled workers. It would free up other visas by exempting immediate relatives of U.S. citizens from being counted in the annual pool.
Other provisions in the bill include a new F-4 visa category for students pursuing advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. These students would be granted permanent residence if they find a job in their field and pay a $1,000 fee toward scholarships and training of US workers.
Other proposals in the bill include streamlining labour certification rules for foreigners holding the desired advanced degrees from a US university.
Immigrants with advanced degrees in the desired fields, as well as those of 'extraordinary ability' and 'outstanding professors and researchers,' would also get an exemption from the cap on employment-based green cards and slots for permanent residence.
If they are the same bill and it is passed then its a good news. someone please confirm and put a light on this.
