this…from one of the comments @Hamond law blog site……Due to
something called SPILLOVER RULES in the EB category. Indian and Chinese
already get around 50-60% of the visas. The whole problem is this:more than any other Nation, Indians apply for EB green card. Primary
reason for this is the existence of Indian Consulting Firms Like
InfoSys and Satyam in US. These companies file for 100K Plus Visas each
year. The process is extremely inefficient for verification and in case
of MAJORITY of Indian High-Skilled immigrants, they dont even have US
degrees. So these companies submit “Evidence” of the skill of these
individuals with experience in IT in obscure towns in India and degrees
from obscure Indian Universities. When these individuals come over here
and replace American workers, they dont have any real skills. They
recieve training AS THEY ARE WORKING in a highly skilled job and are
given support by the Consulting firm that brought them because they are
working practically for free. After “laundering” their experience by
working for 4-5 years and making the consulting a fortune in consulting
fees earned on their behalf, they switch jobs and file for green card.
At this point their experience is valid (at least for the past 3-4
years) and they have effectively replaced the American worker.“The U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES “H-1B Benefit Fraud
& Compliance Assessment” of September 2008 concluded 21% of H1-B
visa granted originate from fraudulent applications or applications with
technical violations”So now these people end up in the Green Card Queue. The problem is
RAMPANT in INDIAN IT Worker’s case because there are these BILLION
dollar consulting firms that are committing these frauds. JUST SEARCH
SATYAM, IGATE, PATNI, INFOSYS and the like and see how many H1bs they
file each year. NONE of the other countries, EVEN CHINA, has these visa
mill firms making billions. This is a systematic abuse of the American
system. The only deterrent to these individuals is the long wait time.
And now, all these people waiting in the queue working in jobs and
having real experience now and money earned in America have collected
money and through ImmigrationVoice.org (a so called Immigrant Advocate
org, which is in fact an Indian Immigrant advocate organization as
proven by this bill that is against everyone but India and China) have
hired lobbyist to influence congressmen. They realize that what is FAIR
and UNETHICAL is secondary question and not how politics work in US,
what matters is that you grease a few palms and put a label like
“Fairness for immmigration” label to keep the American public (that is
mostly unaware of the skilled immigration procedure) fooled. So they
have done that and are trying to eat every one Else’s lunch.ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW is that this bill will DO NOTHING other than
reducing the wait time ONLY for the Indians already in the queue. THAT
IS ALL. WTF do we need a bill that does nothing more than that? I will
tell you why, because these Indians waiting in the queue, have amassed
money by breaking into the US workforce unethically (if not illegally)
and know that they can buy off senators (or at least contribute to their
campaigns significantly). If you actually want to know HOW the lobbying
machine is in the works just go to the IMMIGRATION VOICE website:They even gave pointers about how when members contact republicans
they dont mention the Family Based limit going up to 15% from 7% (which
would essentially allow more parents/relatives from Mexico, of American
Born citizens, anchor babies in often cases) and mention this limit when
they call democratic senators.
