Really! Immigrants Petitioning Our Congress about our Economy and Keep the American Jobs that they fraudulently stole from us?? It's time to abolish this H1b/L1 program that does nothing but create employment biases against Americans. There is need for Merit based system. Country cap is required for diversity. They are not assimilating with American society, but spoiling our society values and work culture and bringing corruption to this country. They don't have any moral values, or high skills. There should have been country cap on H1. They are using every loophole to take American's jobs. Americans are discriminated in their own country. They used unlawful practices to get the lion’s share of visas from lottery raffle, visa fraud cases, EEO fraud, favoritism, hiring people of their own home towns. They are spoiling American's work culture and peaceful lifestyle. They fell in their own visa fraud trap and stuck in the backlog. This is a good lesson for them. America is a country of law. If you will not follow the law you can't escape. Put a stop to this fraud visa lottery. Fraud and nepotism by these foreigners is hurting Americans. GOD BLESS AMERICA. https://www.petition2congress.com/ctas/abolish-h1b-visa-program Barbara R. from San Jose, CA writes: My husband was working for Amazon. He was promoted as a product director. He had 17 years of experience in his field. He was filling all the positions in his department by interviewing and hiring techies, managers, staffs. He hired 3 Indians among all others back in 2011.2 of the 3 Indian guys he hired got promoted and moved on to different roles. Once they had the ability to hire employees, my husband saw Americans increasingly getting replaced by Indian workers. My husband was laid off eventually .He was told his role was redundant and his services were not needed anymore. My husband never saw skin color , ethnicity , religion or nationality when hiring people .He always hired based on one' skills. My husband and I moved to Silicon Valley in search of jobs. He got hired at EBay in 2015.He saw the same thing happening in EBay. The entire eBay company is filled with Indians. He got laid off 9months ago because the company had revenue shortfall. Ever since, my husband has been jobless. We sold some of our furniture and car to pay our bills. Every single company my husband went to interview for was crowded with Indians. This is a hard lesson we learned. Indians will always hire Indians. I and my husband grew up in a very liberal family background. We believe in equality. Based on the experience we had we switched our political affiliation to Republican Party. We both voted for trump because he was the one who was willing to take on this issue. But the issue deeper than lot of people believes. This is not just H1b issue. It is about others who don't fit in well with American values. They feel they need to be surrounded by people of their kind. Given the opportunity, they do everything in their capacity to surround themselves with same kind of people they grew up with. Multi-culuralism and diversity doesn't work. My husband is training for CDL to drive big trucks. He feels he wasted all his time in corporate world. Anyway, many here feel the issue is all about h1bs.The issue runs lot deeper than h1bs.There is blatant favoritism being practiced by people from other countries. My husband's role now pays 30,000 dollars lower than what he used to make. He is better off driving trucks which pays the same amount. Within six years we have slipped into poverty.REPORT COMMENTS

Out of all of the 7 points enumerated in the petition, I will vote only for #3, #4, #5, #6, #7 only. There is a process of I-140 and then I-485. And I-485 is for adjustment of status. Instead of asking for #1, we should ask for concurrent filing. #2 should absolutely be denied. The reason is, most of the H4 holders will try to get into jobs right from the kitchen ( without any real job experience ) and competing with American talent. This is not good. If they have real experience, that is a different story. But this is not the case in most of the cases and there is real abuse of the system. #3 is reasonable, because the H1B holders are working here anyway. So, there is no harm in allowing them for domestic renewal. It used to be there prior to 2004. Not sure why it is stopped. #4 is also reasonable, because only the main applicant is taken into consideration when applying for I-140. Family cmes into picture only at the stage of I-485. #5 is very much needed. First come first served is the best system basing on the merit and talent instead of having per country limit. #6 is also reasonable because if we get unused visa numbers, the backlog will be cleared. #7 is the most important one which is always ignored ( I guess ). Children of many legal immigrants have started their elementary education in the United States of America. And unfortunately, most of these children are aging out as soon as they attain 21 years of age and in the middle of their college educaton. Even though these children of legal immigrants are meritorious and A/B students all through their education, they are forced to separate from their parents' green card process as soon as they attain 21 years of age. All these aging out children came to this country on legal H4 status in their elementary education and they think their country is only USA because they lost all their roots with their mother land what ever country it is. These children have all their connections in USA only. But once they age out, all these thoughts will shatter into pieces and all of a sudden they are no where. Families of these aging out children undergo tremendous stress which is inexplicable. Respected the President and the Congress can do something for these aging out children, and they only can do. I request the President and the Congress to look into this and I humbly request to do justice to these aging out children of legal employment based residents.REPORT COMMENTS

Who is Stuck in the Green Card Backlogs? - A Guide for the Perplexed, by Cyrus Mehta Cyrus Mehta, Oct. 31, 2016 - "?In the realm of Nature there is nothing purposeless, trivial, or unnecessary? ? Maimonides, The Guide for the Perplexed David Bier of the Cato Institute in No One Knows How Long Legal Immigrants Will Have To Wait calculates that there are ?somewhere between 230,000 and 2 million workers in the India EB-2 and EB-3 backlogs, so they?ll be waiting somewhere between half a century and three and a half centuries. It is entirely possible that many of these workers will be dead before they receive their green cards.? This is stunning, and a damming indictment of the broken and shambolic legal immigration system of the United States. The backlogs in the India and China employment-based second (EB-2) and employment-based third (EB-3) preferences have made the employment-based immigration system completely unviable. It makes no sense for an employer to test the US labor market, obtain labor certification and classify the foreign national employee in the EB-2 and EB-3 through an approved I-140 petition, and then wait endlessly for decades for the green card. It is also hopelessly frustrating for the foreign national to be waiting endlessly. As Bier?s report points out, the wait may absurdly be beyond the lifetime of the employee and the sponsoring entity. One is also penalized based on where you were born. Although each employment-based preference has a limited supply of green cards each year set by law, the backlog is further compounded due to the per country limit. - See more at: https://www.lexisnexis.com/legalnewsroom/immigration/b/insidenews/archive/2016/10/31/who-is-stuck-in-the-green-card-backlogs-a-guide-for-the-perplexed-by-cyrus-mehta.aspx#sthash.K9G90ZUl.dpufREPORT COMMENTS

Yes. I agree. Aging out is a big problem for parents of children who have studies in USA and now have turned 21 years. All these changes would certainly help the H1B families.REPORT COMMENTS

Children on dependent Visa in High school and College are suffering as they are not able to do meaningful entrance-ships, Jobs while on dependent Visa, while their classmates are having all those opportunities. Converting Visa to Student Visa will change their fees from resident to Non-resident, even though they have spend 6-10 years in US Schools. And if they turn 21 before 485 filing, then they will loose their dependent status and will have to go to Student Visa. That means, higher fees and don't know if they will be getting H1B or will have to leave the country.REPORT COMMENTS
