前段时间看到niu给议员campain，希望他们监督eb2 spillover。 我觉得这个难度比较
大，因为议员负责立法，eb2 spillover具体行为属于政府部门，政府部门随便一个理
由就可以搪塞掉议员的质询信，我们要从根本上解决的问题是7%的quota cap. 我们的
议员campain应该从立法的角度上来更高层面的解决这个问题。我看到iv上面一封印度
人给议员的信，我觉得大家可以借鉴一下
Dear Senator,
I am a legal immigrant in the United States and I have been living in CA for
5 years approximately and in the United States for close to 7 years. I have
a Masters degree in Engineering from xxxxxx Univ and I have been working in
the US for the past 5 years helping xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx in
top 500 companies like xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. I also bought a house last year and
started to pay property tax for california. Despite being a legal immigrant
for all this time and making a lot of contributions to the American society,
I have not been able to obtain a Green card due to several problems in the
legal immigration process.
I am writing to you to request that changes be made to the legal immigration
process to the USA as thousands of legal immigrants like me are facing
decades of wait for permanent residency status.
The biggest change that needs to happen as soon as possible is that per-
country quotas in the employment based immigration system should be
eliminated as they are unfair to high-skilled workers from China/India like
me. Even though I have been a legal resident of the country for this long (
close to 8 years), I face another 5 years wait to become a permanent
resident because of the limits on number of green cards given to workers
from each country every year.
Unless Congress acts to eliminate the per country quotas, high skilled
Indian immigrants will continue to face this problem.
The other change that needs to happen is that immigrants' priority dates in
the green card process should be based on when they first came to the USA or
when they start working, rather than when their employers file a green card
petition for them. Even though I came to the USA in August of 2004 and
started working in July of 2006, my priority date for a green card is Dec of
2008, as that is when my second employer filed a petition on my behalf. I
started the green card process with my first employer in October 2006, but
had to abandon that process as I changed jobs in 2008 and had to restart the
entire process. While I wait for decades for my greencard I will have to
continue to work on an H1B visa, here are the disadvantages I face because
of this:
1. I cannot start a business as easily as permanent resident or a citizen
can as there are very stringent restrictions on people on work visas
starting businesses.
2. I cannot go back to school to get a PhD as I have already filed an
immigrant visa petition and I will not be granted an F-1 visa any more.
3. I will have to pay attorney fees (which is currently $2200 for me) every
three years to renew my work visa every three years for decades to come.
4. My employer will have to pay over $2200 to USCIS every three years to
extend my stay for several decades more.
5. Every time I renew my work visa and travel outside the US, I will need to
visit a US Consulate overseas to get my work visa stamped on my passport,
which takes time and costs money each time it is done, and creates a lot of
uncertainty on whether I will be able to come back to the USA.
6. If I want to leave my current employer to work elsewhere , I will have to
restart my entire greencard process with another employer
7. If my employer lets me go, and I cannot immediately find another job
within weeks, I will have to leave the country after spending more than a
decade here legally and I will have to start over in a different country.
Even if I find another job in the US that quickly, I will have to restart my
entire green card process with the new employer.
8. My wife, who also has a Masters degree from a US university, cannot get
work authorization (EAD) to work in the US as my greencard process is stuck
due to per country limits.
The latest Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill being considered by
congress has provisions to eliminate per country limits and grant green
cards to people with US masters degrees immediately if they have a job offer
with a US employer related to their major field of study. I strongly
encourage you to vote for this proposal considering how broken the current
system is. Please let me know if you need clarification on any of the issues
mentioned above.
Sincerely,
zzz
