Friends,
Let's discuss and sign the petition to the White House about EB3/EB2 categories waiting time. They give 30 days to get 150 signatures in order a petition to be visible on the White House website and 25,000 signatures for the President Administration to react. Once we get 150 signatures and the petition is published on the White House website, it will be visible to all 3 million White House website users, and will get a snowballing effect in getting signatures. The 25,000 will not be a problem in this case.
Therefore, in order not to waist the given 30 days, I suggest to accumulate as many people agreed to sign as possible before we file this petition and 30 days countdown starts. Once the petition created we will start signing it, but let’s first discuss and agree on it.
I will inform you once the petition created and signatures needed.
Here is the initial text of the petition. Please feel free to discuss and suggest.
WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Grant Permanent Residency to specialists (EB3/EB2 categories) who legally reside and work in the U.S. for more than 5 years.
Currently, the process of getting permanent residency for specialists with bachelor degree and higher in most fields of Science and Technology takes from 7 to 15 years.
These are people who live in the U.S. legally and contribute their knowledge and expertise to the United States for many years and even decades, pay taxes, but still do not have basic rights and representation.
We believe if the U.S. wants to stay competitive among other nations it is better to attract scientists and specialists, not alienate them.
Many young specialists spend precious years of their lives under pressure of a complete uncertainty about their status. It not only retains them from investing in major purchases such as real estate, but also negatively affects all other aspects of lives.
We petition to grant at least permanent residency to specialists (H1B visa, EB3/EB2 categories) who legally reside, work and pay taxes in the U.S. for more than 5 years and who have no criminal record.
