    Been 7 years legally in this country. I have my GC being processed in EB3 category,and I still have not got the chance to file for AOS (I 485) due to which I have not invested in real estate and my wife though qualified with an MBA still cannot work due to my work visa. Please do something and relieve us from this modern day slavery.

    Have been in the USA for more than 10 years now and applied for Green Card 7 years ago in EB3 category. I don't see any end in sight for this never ending wait. Please recapture the Visa numbers ( VISA RECAPTURE) lost during the last 10 years which would give some relief to the EB3 applicants who have been waiting for so long.

    Most of them are financially ready to buy houses, BUT they lack the certainity of thier stay in the country, easing which will definately improve the housing market and also the economy of the country, since most of these are potential enterprenuers.

    Please do something. We "skilled immigrants" have spent years helping this country, and trying to do things in right way. I am hoping for a fair play from this great country.

    The whole immigration system needs a major overhaul with emphasis on the employment based immigration system where in skilled and talented people are stuck in a literal bonded labor. These people if given green cards have the potential to start companies, create jobs, increase the demand in housing markets and be a major boost to the economy. Please help us to help you back...

    Please help ! A legal immigrant who follows all the rules and pays taxes should not have to wait for 20 years to get his green card. The way the backlog is there are some people who might even retire before they get their employment based greencard.

    I have been in this country sine the last 10years. I have my Masters from US university. I have been in the Green Card process for the last 5years and still have to wait few more years due to the backlog process. I am not able to do any career changes and grow in my carrer since I am stuck in the Green Card Process. We all legal immigrants would appreciate it the Congress would do something and remove all the backlogs in the Employment based Green Card.
