Dear Sir or Madam
I wish to introduce myself as XXXX. I am an "NATIONALITY" and came to this country in "YEAR" on an H1B visa. I am a "PROFESSIONAL ???? ENGINEER" and I have been working in the USA by paying my taxes on time. My only goal is to get better quality of life and provide the best for my family. In doing this I have always been a law abiding person and never breached any laws in this country. In this process I have always maintained my legal status and I have been trying to get my ‘GREEN CARD” thru my employer
Due to delay in labor certifications from labor department & then due to the visa numbers unavailability, people like me might get only get green cards after 10 more years. In reality & logically this process should not exceed 12-24 months? The GC labor processing is killing our day to day life. We are not able to take major decisions like buying home, establish business for spouse or investing in economy in stocks etc.
As a legal, tax-paying and productive member of society, my career and working status is stalled by this seemingly never ending unfair wait in the American legal immigration system and is very discouraging and possibly detrimental to the interest of the American global economy in the 21st century.
I request you to look at the whole community like us who are highly skilled, peace loving and helping US economy to grow
It’s almost "X" years for me now. I would appreciate if you could help people like me, who having been waiting for so long now. Please contact me for any details. There are many suffering like me & can be contacted if you look up
www.immigrationportals.com
The whole working legal immigrant community will be highly indebted if you could air these issues & probably that might awaken the right authorities to look into the details & do something. These "delay in decisions" and "delay in work" is also coming at a cost of tax payers money.
Senators do not support speeding up the Green Cards process saying that the jobs are been taken by foreign workers. I do not know if Senators think or they are paid to think that way by major corporations.
Explanation: The jobs taken by foreign workers either in the U.S. or foreign countries depend on the market forces in the global economy and free trade. For the international competitions, U.S. businesses will have to rely on some foreign workers, particularly high tech professionals, no matter where they perform the jobs. However, if the job had to be done overseas by the outsourced foreign workers in a territory of a foreign country, they will not contribute to the American economy other than supply of labor forces, and these outsourced jobs will not create businesses and jobs in the related industries as they will not spend money to buy the goods and services in this country. The foreign workers who are hired and work in the country will generate and boost the country's domestic businesses and jobs as they spend their income in this country. Granted that the U.S. businesses will need their services and allegedly they will take away American jobs, the result will remain same: No matter what, whether in the form of oursourcing or hiring foreign workers within the country, probably the same number of jobs may be allegedly taken away by the global market forces. The huge difference between the two is that outsourcing of jobs will not help to create jobs and business within the country by the forced of consumption but the foreign workers in the U.S. will. Come to think of the affect of McDonald hamburger drive-in orders taken by foreign workers in a foreign country and orders taken by a foreign worker in town. Highly qualified immigrants are going back to their home country because of this delay in Green Card Processing and they are taking their jobs with them as major corporations have realized that they need this brain power and experience, so they have started opening big offices in other countries such as India, China, Thailand, Phillipines etc.
Remember: Major Corporations use this reason to open offices in other countries.
Attached letter send to Leticia Sierra from the labor department to address the labor certification delay issues.
Thanks and Have a nice day.

Guys,
It is not enough by just saying "Way to Go" or "Thank you for doing this" when other people are trying to contact senators and TV stations.
I think it is time for every one to contact your favorite TV stations/shows such as 20-20 or 60 mins. Remember all it takes is 10 mins of your time to send a email or call, as TV shows will not spend time and make a show if the request comes from 1 person. A topic/Request is more powerful when it comes from a set of people who are affected.
I am sending a letter to those shows, I suggest you send the request too.
Below are the links spend some time by typing a short email.
