Don't give visas to people if you are going to discriminate when it comes to giving green cards. Stop this discrimination based on country of origin . Enforce 7% cap on all visas not green cards.REPORT COMMENTS

Yes, I agree with this, please abolish 7% quota for EB GC per country. It is been so frustrating waiting for GC for last 7-8 years and knowing it will take another 10 years to get GC, I will retire at that time, no point for me to get GC when I am 50. Also my children will age out 21 + making them start again in H1-B and do same struggle. having paid taxes and helping communities and development in this country for last 8 years, this is fate I don;t want to get. Please be logical and either process the back log or port those under unused quota for other countries. Also, in future keep a limit on how many GC application you can accept per year/per country/per category so a huge back log does not build up. right now clear the back log, porting to unused and process our GC sooner, please.REPORT COMMENTS

Getting stuck in a line to work for a single type of job and not set up a business is modern day slavery. I have a dream of setting up my own company and working expanding the business since my childhood. I am in here in US legally for 10 years and paying huge taxes. I got my I 140 approved and waiting in line doing the same job in order not to risk my status. I can't work the job I like. I can't set up a small company. I can't do some other job which I like. It doesn't benefit H1B / L1 worker or American worker. It kills competition in the market as well as it kills liberty for I 140 holders. People from one country waiting for 15 to 20 years or more in line to get green card is discrimination against that country's people. Please, end discrimination and end country quotas.REPORT COMMENTS

Please do some justice to people who are waiting in the long queues to get Green Card especially for countries like India and China People are almost waiting for half of their life for getting a green card. I hope Trump administration would help people to get their Green Cards faster and enjoy the dream of America. I hope there should be a new law to separate out between people who have pursued Masters in United States and others. Also approve the GC's for all those who have pursued Masters in United States so that they can be benefited at-least for their Masters in USA.REPORT COMMENTS
