Please oppose HR 3012 bill

Daju Bhai and didi bahini haru ani pyara sathi mitra bandhu haru,

you must have heard about H.R. 3012 bill by now. This bill is an ammendment to current Greencard process. This ammendment heavily favors Indian and Chinese applicants and considerably slows down Green card process for the applicants from the rest of the world. It is currently on hold in the senate.

Here is the summary on the bill:

Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2011 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to: (1) eliminate the per country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrants, and (2) increase the per country numerical limitation for family based immigrants from 7% to 15% of the total number of family-sponsored visas.

Sets forth the following transition period for employment-based second and third preference (EB-2 and EB-3) immigrant visas: (1) for FY2012, 15% of such visas allotted to natives of countries other than the two countries with the largest aggregate numbers of natives obtaining such visas in FY2010; (2) for FY2013, 10% of such visas allotted in each category to natives of countries other than the two with the largest aggregate numbers of natives obtaining such visas in FY2011; and (3) for FY2014, 10% of such visas allotted in each category to natives of countries other than the two with the largest aggregate numbers of natives obtaining such visas in FY2012


What it means to us:

If this bill is passed, our green card process will be further delayed by the spillover applicants from India and China. The additional delay is estimated anywhere from 2 to 4 years on top of the already delayed process. This is not fair because this bill is targeted to expedite applicants from Indian and Chinese nationality only. Rest of the 200 other countries will have to suffer further delay.

So my friends, brothers and sisters, I strongly urge you to oppose this bill and prevent it from passing it on the Senate. There are two ways you can help:

1. The most effective way is to call your Senator office of your state and file your petition.  It is very simple to do it. The following is the website to find the contact number for the senator for your state. You just have to call them and tell them why you want to oppose the HR3012 bill.

2. Another way is to go to the following website and file a petition against the bill.

Thanks again for your support.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
