Dear Friends,
As many of you may have heard, President Obama’s administration is planning
to announce immigration relief in the form of administrative reform in the
next few days. While the exact details are unknown at this time, there are
some specific reforms that we have requested the White House and the
Department of Homeland Security’s policy makers for the skilled immigration
system. We expect that many of these reforms are likely to be included in
the package that is announced. This announcement may come as early as this
week.
In addition to recapture of unused green cards and EAD for H-4 visa holders,
Immigration Voice has pushed for many different quality of life fixes to
the system. We expect that a combination of the following fixes, in some
variation, will be announced very soon by the administration.
1. Allow applicant to submit and DHS to receive Adjustment of Status
application when a visa number is not available.
2. Providing clarity to current law by clearly defining "Same or Similar
Occupation Classification".
3. Providing the immigration case related paperwork to the beneficiary by
USCIS and Department of Labor. Currently, immigrants do not have access to
their own immigration paper work making them beholden to the employers,
skewing the labor market.
4. Improving the system so that immigrants are not required to re-file and
start employment based visa process all over again every time they change
employer. This aspect of the system is being excessively abused by bad
employers in marketplace to coerce and threaten immigrant employees from
changing jobs, resulting in employee exploitation and preventing labor
mobility.
5. Allow porting of Priority Date between primary applicant's Employment
Based green card petition and Spouse's Employment Based green card petition.
6. Making Visa Bulletin 'Current' allowing applicants to adjust status.
7. Providing clarity for allowing immigrants to start companies and work for
their own companies on Optional Practical Training (OPT), Employment
Authorization Document (EAD) pending Adjustment of Status and H1-B visas,
without impractical restrictions that are not required by the existing law.
8. Grant automatic extensions for 240 days of Work Authorization and Advance
Parole if extension was filed prior to expiry of Work Authorization or
Advance Parole.
We know that when we are restricted from freely moving in the market between
employers and positions due to green card delays, it limits our potential
to grow. It also binds us to our sponsoring employers and makes us more
attractive as employees in hi-tech industry where employee turnover is high
and employee retention is tough. Because of the unfair competition created
by long green card backlogs, a US citizen cannot compete on a level playing
field against an immigrant who is bonded to his or her employer. Freeing
people to move between employers and positions helps us grow; level the
playing field for US citizens for fair competition and is beneficial to
overall economy. The same rationale applies to the less skills labor market
largely filled in by the undocumented immigrants.
It is extremely important for us as a community of skilled immigrants to
stand shoulder to shoulder alongside our brothers and sisters who are
undocumented but have contributed to the economy of their adopted homeland,
just like we have. It is very easy to get mired in the bristling politics of
the issue, but we must keep in mind that the relief announced for the
undocumented is long overdue and well deserved just like the relief that is
announced for us. We have to stand in support of the administrative reform
package when we talk to friends, colleagues, social media, press, public
forums and policy makers – and speak with one voice. Making incendiary
comments is not only wrong from moral perspective, it is also bad politics.
Although it is very easy to preach the virtue of the lawfulness, we have to
remember that most of us, directly or indirectly, benefit from undocumented
immigration. The very agitators, who might want to deport everyone, are the
ones who live in houses that are built by undocumented immigrants; buy
produce picked by undocumented immigrants and stay in hotel rooms maintained
by the very undocumented immigrants they want to deport. They all reap
benefits of cheap, exploited and helpless undocumented immigrants and yet
refuse to let them be a part our society, just as skilled workers. We have
to be careful and not get carried away by the tsunami of this hypocritical
rant that is expected to follow the administrative reform.
As always, we will do our best to keep you informed as we hear more from
policy makers and we thank you for your support and dedication to your noble
cause.
Stay connected to know more and don't forget to contribute!
