This bill has already gone to Senate.So write to your senators. I have written what I thought to 5 senators.  My aim was either fail this bill or ammend this for EB2 and EB3 category to proritize those with US degrees.

Feel free to edit and add your points.

Dear Senator 

I am writing to you regarding the Bill HR 3012 that was passed on Nov. 30 in house and now presented to Senate. The bill "Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2011" if becomes law would eliminate per country limit for skilled and high skilled immigrants. The bill got overwhelming support in the house despite of having some serious flaws in it. I would like to present my views on why this bill should not be passed in its current form and would like to request you to consider following facts while discussing and amending this bill in the senate judicial committee.

- More than 85% of currently waiting in the queue for employment based visas are Indian and Chinese nationals. If this bill becomes law in its current form there would be more workers form just these two countries. This would adversely affect the US immigration and US industry as a whole as the immigrant US workforce will be more dominated by nationalities of these two countries and practically eliminates the US immigration and employment diversity.

- Another big flaw I see is that this bill does not try to mitigate any fraud that is prevalent in employment based immigration. US department of Labor currently just verifies the job positions and employee to check if they are appropriate for the position, but does not look anything about the legitimacy of the position. So it does not take much effort for an employee and employer to create a position that would effectively categorized as high skilled requirements and put themselves in the front of the queue. So to mitigate such kinds of fraud this bill needs to tighten the labor certified process for green card applicants and break the employer and employee relationship for any sponsorship. A high skilled immigration (mostly EB2 category) should include those who have advance degree (Masters or PHD) from recognized US universities and have genuine jobs on related field and not the one with foreign degree and fake resumes and fake positions pretending as high skilled workers. I think prioritizing cheaters and fakers in the long queue of backlogged immigration is another kind of 'amnesty'. So this bill needs to reconsider the eligibility for Employment Based preferences (popularly known as EB1, EB2 and EB3) and should prioritize green cards based on the employee personal achievements (like US degrees, Advanced degrees, US work experience etc) rather than employers created fake positions so that they can sponsor some cheap labor.

 

I would like to request you take considerations of above points on any judicial meetings on related HR 3012 bill.

 

Sincerely yours,

-------------

Forigners holidng a temporary visas giving  suggestion  to US Senators to change the bill that passed in the House. 

Hello! Senators. They are not the one who is going to  stay in line this November, are  they? And they are not talking about US interest, they have their own greed and ego.

I think these Forigeners should go back to their native county and try to create jobs giving suggestion to their own Politicians. Can they?

Thanks



Also, few words for Sexy In Sari and Pepsi, I believe that you guys do live in US. If you do,both of you guys are here in DV, or came with your parents, or maybe even applied EB2/EB3. Even if you were born here, just remember your origin, your parents were foreigners when they got here. I do not know, what is your basis for differentiating yourselves (calling others foreigners), but one thing I know for sure, all of us here are Nepalese by origin. Here, you show yourself not to be against a bill which will more likely affect immigrants from Nepal and ROW but do good to Indians. Ironically, I may find you guys showing your hatred for Indians at some other postings. I do not have anything against Indians or Chinese, but the way this bill is being presented with only the big picture seen by everyone but not the details, really is an issue here. And its not just we foreigners from NEPAL who are worried about this bill, if you take your precious time to do some research, you will find so called foreigners(like you said) from Europe(France, Germany, UK,etc) also are in opposition to this bill.

senate hasn't passed this bill yet but if they pass before or on January they'll implement right a way. But if they do late submission and late voting in senate then some of this year's GC quota (starts from Ocober) will be used and the law will be implemented next year means coming year October.

House of representive has already passed this bill with 90 % vote. So even if senate opposes this. It will be passed by the joint session. ........So think that its already a LAW

Guys...It is very likely that China and India are lobbying for this law. Hand full of non Chinese and non Indian apeal/emails is not going to defeat India and China.....Give up.
