Been in the US legally since 2000. Got 2 masters degree from a recognized US university. I guess I am more "American" than some of those lucky folks who get their green cards within 1 - 2 year(s) of their stay in the US, just because they are not citizens of India (or for that matter, one of those countries whose cases have been "unfairly" retrogressed). This country is known for providing opportunities to everyone, fair and sqaure. So, why am I being punished? How does a quota system based on "nationality of the individual" sound logical when the US is in need of high skilled migrant workers? Doesn't make sense to me...does it to you? -

All H1B immigrants pay taxes, rent , credit cards, insurance on time and we have to wait for 10 years to get Permanent Resident card, the GC process is really useless. Please compare it with Canada, UK where PR is on point / grade basis and not on priority date. Please resolve this backlog with practicle soultion.REPORT COMMENTS

I hope the law makers soon realize that the immigration debate is being hijacked by discussions on illegal immigrants and over looking the law abiding 'Highly skilled" LEGAL immigrants.REPORT COMMENTS

We all know how great this country and how easy it is to become part of this system for an immigrant and how quickly one can become dependent on it i.e. in other words how difficult it is for one once he is part of this system and spent a few years to move back to a different country (including his country of origin) after living, working, paying taxing, raising his US born children in this country. Similar is situation with atleast 500,000 to a million legal residents who are waiting for becoming a permanent resident. Current per country cap, inclusion of dependents in calculation of EB quota, lack of visa recapture has caused severe backlogs making one wait anywhere 5 - 25 years based on country of origin. Senator Lofgren in the past had introduced a bill to mitigate the backlog by introduction of VISA recapture bill which didn't pass through the senate. But now the same thing can achieved under your leadership and guidance through a admin fix process. So, I request you to kindly do the admin fix and recapture lost visas and bring relief to a million legally living tax paying "temporary" residents. Atleast, let us file Adjustment of Permanant Residence(I 485) application once our Immigrant Petition (I 140) is approved there is no reason to keep us waiting indefinitely till VISA bulletin dates become current.REPORT COMMENTS
