Watch this space. I will add comments with new updates. As of now there has been a breakthrough in agreeing to a bi-partisan version of the comprehensive immigration reform bill. It will be tabled and cleared through the senate by tomorrow.

Only 2 things left...

1) conference to reconcile differences between house and senate versions
2) President's signature to make it into law (merely a formality now)

Should not take much longer now. Our pain will finally end soon now.
 
you are VERY optimistic gb04, don't forget it's an election year for the senators so anything can happen and they have only 24 hrs to clear it, there are 200+ amendments to this bill and they want to vote on those but simply there is no time left period...

don't take me wrong, I wish they pass THE BILL and hopefully we may see a light at the end of the tunnel...

If this is true, then I should try to find out now if my case is stuck in name check or not.
I tried it a few weeks back, but was put off after they asked a lot of information that I was not having with me at that time.
Looks like we need to move around with all the papers in order to even make a query.

Proposed Immigration Changes

Hello,

Can anyone please explain me what is the proposed change(s) in the new immigration bill for GC applicants from India? If it is passed, what are advantages for us?

Thanks
 
I am not usually very optimistic but this time I am 100% sure, retrogression will be over for the time being once this bill becomes law. No party or congressperson/senator in either house has expressed any oppposition to promoting legal immigration and even though different versions have different benefits as far as we EB applicants are concerned, most combinations of proposals is bound to remove retrogression.

Off the top of my head, here are some of the benefits for us:

1) Increase in overall EB visa quota (I think its doubling)!!
2) Increase in percentage of how much a country can tap into unused visas from other countries
3) Recapture of unused visas since 2001!!
4) Increase in EB3 percentage of total visa share (atleast good for me ;) )
5) Dependent's application won't be counted towards the quota!!
6) Some highly skilled/educated/talented will not be counted towards the quota (sorry for the laymen description)

...add more if I left something out.

I mean even if some of these make into final bill, retrogression is over for the next few years. And you can quote me on that. Visit this thread a few weeks from now and tell me if I was wrong.

And in the remote chance that we don't get any benefit from this immigration reform...I will pack up and leave this country. This will be the second time (2000-01) I get overtaken by illegals for immigration benefits and I won't take it. There are a billion benefits for illegals in this bill and it will be huge mistake not to listen to us who are trying to settle here legally.

...all this looks nice...but now all this illegals would also go thru FBI Name Check...so for someone like me who has been stuck in FBI Name Check for more than 2 years, this might also mean I would be stuck for a loong time now...after all the FBI NNCP would be under a lot of pressure now...

I am not believing those BS anymore...

it's not the same, if you PD is current you can file a case against USCIS so they will be forced to clear your NC in 90days...
 
I don't understand this, nothing is going to happen for illegals. Why USCIS have to wait for them and give them first preference? Why don't they start approve legal cases waiting for years...?? what logic is this?
 
What does this failure to pass the bill means???????

What does this failure to pass the bill means???????

Does this mean the retrogression may not go in near future?
Also does this bill include only illegal workers issue or also the increasing the visa#s and other issues like not taking dependent visa #s into consideration?

Is there any hope of passing the bill in next one month????
 
Actually i was not looking forward to this immigration bill in the first place.
Its not going to bring any good to people like us (legally working our arse off here).

You guys want now illigal immigrants to eat up the Visa numbers first ?
