Lofgren-Sensenbrenner bill to recapture GCs; Schedule A to come next?
Healthcare Immigration legislation is at a crucial juncture because of, among other reasons, the need to end the retrogression backlog. So please read on and start thinking really positive about your landing in US in the near future. I give you some really good news!
RNs and PTs, We have a real reason to smile!
If everything goes well, our long, long wait for visas will be over in a few months time, as there goes a really effective and near winning effort to recapture about 218000, unused visas, that the US immigration department could not exhaust before the last fiscal year, and the happy news is this that all of these visas are in the employment based categories, that is EB. Yes, there is a real chance for RNs and PTs to win a lions share of the same, as we are in great shortage there.
The importance of this bill and its chances at winning is because of the reason that it is introduced and supported by two very powerful men from both parties in the US,that is this move is bipartisan and so chances of getting it defeated is remote.
Another factor favoring us is the fact the back-logs are so great and they really want to reduce it.
On Wednesday Reps. Lofgren, Davis, and Sensenbrenner introduced H.R. 5882, to “recapture” employment-based (EB) green cards that Congress authorized in the past but that went unused before the end of past fiscal years due to government processing delays. Experts estimate that approximately 218,000 unused EB green cards will be brought back into supply for all employment-based workers.Significantly, HR 5882 has bipartisan support and has two "heavy hitters" (Lofgren and Sensenbrenner) leading the charge. Unlike past immigration proposals, this one has a real chance at passing.The long anticipated legislation targeted at Schedule A occupations -- PTs and RNs -- should be introduced next week. We'll have more information once the bill is formally introduced. Please keep on visiting my blog site and I am sure I will meet you there with more happy news.
