The debate over immigration bills are highly controversial. No one should be fooled and expect a bill to pass in the next few months ahead.
Any solution that increases visa numbers on permanent basis will be further protested by immigration reduction organizations and Americans, who are - arguably - expressing legitimate concerns when trying to take the current level of 1M immigrants a year to 300K. How one expects to put a request to increase the level by not counting the spouses on permanent basis in this current climate ? To our benefit, hopefully one of these days such request may be passed somehow, but one should not rely on it solely.
This is a democratic country. Very few senators would dare to vote for a bill when thousands and thousands of Americans are calling and sending faxes to voice against it.
A lawsuit if conducted by a reputable immigration attorney has the potential to bring the media attention that our cause deserves. If we succeed to bring a lawsuit to take us out of this endless waiting time for a greencad, you wouldn't need to pay for media advertisements anymore. The new would most likely be all over the place and congressmen and the media would naturally learn about our plight. We may end up not winning the lawsuit, but as long as the cause is reasonable, the media attention by itself could gather enough attention to trigger some positive changes.
Illegal aliens were granted the amnesty 245(i) and that obviously overhelmed USCIS. We should try to explore this from a legal angle now. There is no motive to wait for further lobbying efforts since the results are very uncertain as we learned from S.1932.
Lobbying is a parallel effort and must continue, but the lawsuit should be the primary focus now.
