The bill passed by the US Senate to eliminate the per-country<\/strong> numerical restriction for employment-based immigrant visas<\/strong>. Legislation that will hugely profit Indian professionals in America<\/strong>. Ends a major “nationality discrimination” in legal immigration<\/strong>, according to a top Senator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few ideas are more central to who we are as Americans<\/strong> than the idea that individuals should be judged based on their own merits. As people and not on their race or nationality, Senator Mike Lee<\/strong>, author of the Senate legislation, said on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senate on Wednesday consistently passed the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act.<\/strong> That eliminates the per-country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrant visas and raised it for family-based visas. <\/strong>The enactment will tremendously profit a huge number of Indian experts in America who have been waiting for years to get their green cards<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This legislation lives up to our founding principles <\/strong>by ending nationality discrimination in our nation’s employment-based green-card system. It additionally contains many necessary changes to our H-1B visa system<\/strong>. American families should always be our main concern and this bill contains strong new protections for American workers,<\/strong> Lee said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US House of Representatives passed the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act on July 10, 2019<\/strong>. As a result of the contrast between the two versions of the bill. The House and the Senate <\/strong>would need to accommodate the legislation and arrive at a common language, for the two chambers to formally pass it again. Thereafter the bill would be sent to the President to sign into law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bill ending per-country cap for Employment-based Visas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As indicated by the bill, 70%<\/strong> of the total employment-based visas could go to H-1B workers<\/strong> after the bill’s enactment. That portion drops to 50 percent following nine years. At present, there are 1.2 million candidates <\/strong>in line for green cards. It ends country of origin discrimination by eliminating annual country-of-origin caps on green-card visas<\/strong>. Without increasing the total number of green cards given each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill denies all employers with workforces comprising of more than 50% temporary visa workers<\/strong> from sponsoring any new temporary visa workers. It closes the B-1 <\/strong>temporary business guest visa loophole utilized by numerous employers to avoid H-1B visa caps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to other things, the bill collects new fees on all H1-B applications<\/strong>. That would be dedicated to investigating fraud in the H-1B system <\/strong>and prohibit the adjustment of status. For any member of the Chinese Communist Party or People Liberation Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[US Senate passes Bill to remove country caps on employment-based green cards<\/span><\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Florida Senator Rick Scott said the legislation would create more diversity by permitting more immigrants. That don’t have an H1B visa <\/strong>the opportunity to get a green card. <\/strong>It additionally puts a cap on the total number of H-1B visas that may get green cards every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is extremely important to Florida<\/strong> and guarantees diversity in the workforce that meets broad industry needs while securing American jobs.<\/strong> Any unused green cards at the end of the year can go towards alleviating the H-1B backlog<\/strong>. Securing public security by guaranteeing no Chinese national with ties to the Communist Party of China or Chinese military can meet all requirements for any change of visa status<\/strong>, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“While I recognize the sincerity of all members and senators struggling to find solutions. Unfortunately, the provisions sent to the House by the Senate <\/strong>yesterday most likely make matters worse, not better,” Lofgren said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“I plan to quickly and insightfully work<\/strong> with my colleagues to resolve outstanding issues and get a measure across the finish line that can pass both houses of Congress,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now, there is a backlog of almost one million<\/strong> foreign nationals and accompanying family members legally residing in the US <\/strong>who have been approved for, and are waiting to get, employment-based green cards.<\/strong> The biggest number of them are from India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July, Senator Lee had told the Senate that the backlog for an Indian national <\/strong>to get permanent residency or Green Card is more than 195 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
