To encourage high-skilled immigrants, House of Representatives passed
Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act( 389 Yea vs. 15 Nay)!
There were some encouraging news last week: Stock market surged 7%, U.S.
employers added 120,000 new jobs, unemployment rate dropped to 8.5%, the
lowest in 2.5 years....
However, for immigrant workers, the good news came from Capitol Hill.
The House voted on November 29 to end per-country caps on worker-based
immigration visas, a move that should benefit skilled Indian and Chinese
residents seeking to stay in the United States and the high-tech companies
who hire them.
The legislation, which passed 389-15, was a rare example of bipartisan
accord on immigration. It would eliminate the current law that says
employment-based visas to any one country can't exceed 7 percent of the
total number of such visas given out. Instead, permanent residence visas or
green cards would be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.
The bill, said its sponsor, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, "does encourage
high-skilled immigrants who were educated in the U.S. to stay and help build
our economy rather than using the skills they learned here to aid our
competitor nations."
While various interest groups are lobbying for amendments, we are optimistic
that the Senate will pass similar bill swiftly.
Still want to live and work in United States? Update your career profile,
submit resume to visa sponsors and apply for new jobs!
Not all jobs are created equal!
