How does hr 3012 work

However, for natives of China and India, they are only available to aliens with priority dates of on or before November 1, Employers have already proven to the Labor Department through the labor certification process that they need these workers, that qualified Americans are not available and that American workers will not be harmed or the process has been waived in the national interest.

Employment-based immigration is driven by U. It also raises the family-sponsored immigrant visa per-country cap from seven percent to 15 percent. Enacting the bill could affect direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Here is his statement, as added into the Congressional Record on July 11th:. President, today I lift my hold on H.

This bill would eliminate the per-country numerical limitations for employment based immigrants and change the per-country numerical limitations for family-based immigrants. When I placed a hold on the bill, I was concerned that the bill did nothing to better protect Americans at home who seek high-skilled jobs during this time of record unemployment. I have spent a lot of time and effort into rooting out fraud and abuse in our visa programs, specifically the H-1B visa program.

I have always said this program can and should serve as a benefit to our country, our economy and our U. However, it is clear that it is not working as intended, and the program is having a detrimental effect on American workers.

For many years, Senator Durbin and I have worked on legislation to close the loopholes in the H-1B visa program. Our legislation would ensure that American workers are afforded the first chance to obtain the available high paying and high skilled jobs in the United States.

It would make sure visa holders know their rights. It would strengthen the wage requirements, ridding the incentives for companies to hire cheap, foreign labor. While I could not get everything that was included in the Durbin-Grassley visa reform bill, there is agreement to include in H.

Specifically, there will be language authorizing the Department of Labor to better review labor condition applications and investigate fraud and misrepresentation by employers.

An amendment from Rep. Lofgren D-CA that would make adjustments to the three year phase-in period was accepted. The measure now moves on to the Senate for consideration. We all can pray for each other and God the almighty can do all things possible…. I hope all US citizens see your comments and they can all vote your guys off. America is not your country and you Nurse India sound like you are ready to take over America. President, I rise to inform my colleagues that I am placing a hold on H.

This bill would eliminate the per-country numerical limitations for employment-based visas and increase the numerical cap for family-based immigrants. I have concerns about the impact of this bill on future immigration flows, and am concerned that it does nothing to better protect Americans at home who seek high-skilled jobs during this time of record high unemployment. Concern 1. Impact on future immigration flows- immigrant workers will mostly come from India ready to take over American jobs.

Concern 2. Protection of Americans from record high unemployment- nil,none rather a potential threat to even bringing in competition for locals. As we speak at this very moment, some so called organizations Immigration Voice ,and many more shady organizations are collecting money to bribe senators to pass this bill.. Please do not pass this bill.. We all know how much investigation gos in the PERM proceedings.

I suggest all Indian pending cases get reopened and investigated by authorities for fraud. There will be no backlog then. Good luck. Why do we want an immigration law that in favor two countries — India and China, while Americans are out of job?

By the by, United States is a melting pot with diversities. Why are we pretty much closing the door to the rest of the world just because too many Indians and Chinese want to come in? I have studied in this country and a legal tax payer for 16 years. Think of all the people waiting for decades in the line. I have been waiting for more than a decade without Green card. What about us. Row candidates are waiting for years too. Thank to them, Americans have a negative attitude to the H1B category and wish to stop the influx.

US should allow legitimate cases. Correct… Indian people are big fraud… They also doin this in Singapore… When it comes to Certification, technical interview..

And these statistics have any credibility because? Enough is enough. Sen Grassly has put this bill on hold for 2 reasons… Concern 1. What needs to be checked is all Indian applications on EB lines.

All of them. They should be reopened and investigated promptly by the administration from all aspects-employer, salary, etc. Americans must protect themselves against their invasion and abuse on all levels of the immigration system. Just for the record, Indian education is is not accepted anywhere in the civilized world. And FIFO does not exist anywhere.

In addition, the developed countries strictly regulate and even discourage any migration of Indians. When did Philippine become the head quarters of world class education. Dint know that Harward and john hopkins are in Phil. Are u guys not taking away the jobs of Americans. They take nurses from other countirs because american dont want to do nursing. It makes a huge difference, wether Indian, Philippine European or Latino are employed. I want diversity and actually less Indians much less than they are now i this country.

Your statistics are a lie. Even if they were true, exceptional immigrants from India can work almost immediately with H-1 and can get a green card in a few years due to spillover rule changes, and the wait times are decreasing rapidly.

Please be honest. This bill will retrogress EB2 ROW for years and keep exceptional immigrants out of the country while lowly EB3 India will get fast tracked green cards. Grassley is not stupid, He knows what is going on. Phils are the fifth largest nationality of illegal immigrants behind Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.

While these countries are taking away majority of EB visas, Phils are doing illeagal immigration also. It practically allocates pretty much all visas to India and China only for the next three years- all other countries will suffer a 6 year additional wait time on the average. The worst category in employment based immigration has a waiting period of 9 years now, which will be further reduced as a direct consequence of the visa spillover rule.

Changing rules retroactively will immediately make visas unavailable for every other country. Sounds fair to any reasonable soul?

This means the phase out period, i. Basically, at workplace, you are likely to see an inflow of only Indians or Chinese immigrants. This is due to the radical nature of the transition proposal- which tries to change too much in a short time, that too at the expense of others. I think they are quite right. Indians lie so that they can benefit on account of all others. Just for your information, it will not help you.

People know how to count and how to think. Do you really believe that you are smarter than everyone else? Today it is important to get it going at least a start to long standing retrogression. The issue with US immigration is that there is no certanity in dates, for example if some one got PD in he still dont have any idea when his application will become active. People from all over the country are contributing to US economy.

So first come first served make sense and its fair as US senators says. However US should go through all the applications and should provide a date when a persons PD become current. So it helps helps the applicant to make plans for his future accordingly. I think there is no chance of the bill passing this year, There are hundreds of higher priority bills already on hold in the senate, that means zero chance of a cloture vote on this low importance bill.

Anyone living in the U. Those stuck in CP should ask their government to contact the U. You just never know. What ever you say, indians still dont want to go back. Leave them alone they will see once unemployment goes more high KKK will be back and start looking for them. Several websites, including AILA American immigration lawyers association are reporting that negotiations over HR have broken down in the senate and are at an impasse!

They said that further progress on HR is unlikely at this point and bill is likely dead. Of course, the people behind HR namely I. They will not give up and neither should we! It is already placed senate calender for a paasge by January. This is the only bil will go somewhere in this political climate. Main reason it support family based immigrants they are one of the main vote banks during this election year.

Supporters of this bill have made a last gasp effort to push it through using rule XIV. This almost never works, especially when a ranking senator has the bill on hold.

There is no political justification for this bill since it will not allow companies to bring in more highly skilled immigrants, it will just fast track low level Indian Tech workers to get green cards while everyone else suffers, even exceptional immigrants from all countries except India.

It will pass sure. Janu and others like him seem to think the senate is a rubber stamp like the house. HR will not be advanced with a unanimous voice vote. For a mickey mouse I. We need reform that balances out the needs of immigrants from all countries as this would be best for American businesses. Based on the last round of CIR, most senators understand the need for more comprehensive reform, not giving away the farm to a single nationality.

It is not just thinking. It is a done deal actually it is placed on calendar under rule 14 that means it is already bypassed judiciary commitee and taken to the floor by votes from 16 Senators not by voice vote. It is not a micky mouse it is the bill family based immigrants they are the vote banks of america.

It is must pass bill. It is the bill of America. America needs indian and chinese they are more innovators than philippines and mostly this people took their degrees from American Universties that isv why this bill is important that any other bill.

Janu is a liar. The bill is not on the calendar yet. The senate will be consumed with the payroll tax cut and other important issues when they return. Yesterday, in the Senate, H. It will be interesting to watch how and when this bill will sail through.

A bill must be read second time and if motion to proceed and motion to cloture are presented, we will learn whether there will be filibuster by Sen. Its Senior Senator Orrin Hatch will have to rerun for his seat and there was educated rumor that the rising star House Representative Chaffetz, the sponsor of H.

Chaffetz had decided that he would not challenge Sen. One may speculate what might have gone on behind the scene between Sen. Hatch and Rep. Chaffetz relating to the H. Hatch is one of the longest Senior Senators in the U. Senate, and should he lend his hands on this bill, it would help tremendously to crack the barrier.

Please stay tuned to this website for the interesting development of this legislation. This reporter is very interested in the move of Sen. Grassley and the sponsors of S. Chuck Schumer, Sen. Dick Durbin, and Sen. Patrick Leahy — all heavy weights in the Senate.
