This bill was proposed in a previous session of Congress. Sessions
of Congress last two years, and at the end of each session all
proposed bills and resolutions that haven't passed are cleared from the books.
Members often reintroduce bills that did not come up for debate
under a new number in the next session.

Answers given by A1 and A2 are absolutely wrong. they are referring to some other loophole in H1B issues. Answered by a visitor on Sep 12, 2008 2:08 PM -
nswers given by A1 and A2 are completely wrong. My request to everyone who are trying to answer the question is to understand the bill in its entirety, before throwing up some wrong answers. If your answer does not answer the question, then your understanding of the whole issue is wrong.

The first and most crucial step in filing for a Green Card is called Labor Certification. In this step an employer has six months to try and find a US Citizen (Has to advertize in a newspaper and conduct interviews) after which it is is dertemined if the position can be filled by a non-us citizen. This is how Citizens are protected. Answered by a visitor on Sep 17, 2008 7:14 PM -
Firstly, Please read the Bill before drawing any conclusions, if you do not understand the terms used for Employment Based Immigration then please consult a good immigration attorney. Obtaining EB (Employment Based) Green Card is a three step process. Step 1: Labor Certification (now known as PERM) Step 2: Immigration Petition for Alien Worker and Step 3: Adjudication of the Immigrant Visa Application (approval means Issuing a Green Card to alien worker). Term Alien Worker is used for hard working immigrants who entered the U.S. legally. Whats going on : There are immigrants (legal alien workers) waiting in line for Green Card in Step 3. What are they waiting for: They are waiting Visa numbers (there is limited quota for each year). Why are they waiting: They are waiting because Visa numbers were lost due to USCIS and other Govt delays. What will this bill do: It will "RECAPTURE" lost numbers from previous years and grant these to the alien workers waiting in line(MOST ALREADY EMPLOYED IN THE U.S.) |
