| Bill H.R.5921 introduced to eliminate per country visa limits |
|
I think I will create some enemies in the comunity but I post my opinion as well. Just take it for what it is.
I am against removing the per country visa cap.
It is there to promote diversity, to promote exchange of different cultures, to enhance the exchange of different experiences.
Sometimes I think it is also there to prevent things like "little Italy" or "China Town" from happening again.
They are examples from the past where integration within the hosting country (USA) took really a long time.
They are now nice corners of big cities but those areas really went through a lot of troubles.
Probably such realities will not happen again but history is there to teach us.
I feel so sad when I enter some small companies and the majority of the employees are immigrant all of them from the same country. I wonder why they moved here if they are still interacting mainly with people born in the same country.
It is so great where I work, when I enter the building people say good morning in several different languages. It is just a good way to start the day. I learn a lot. People around me learn a lot. It is actually a lot of fun.
If anything (for the same reasons listed above) they shoul add a per country visa cap on H1 visas.
If they do not do so than it is pretty clear that the time scale to get GC for a person from a "oversubscribed" country will skyrocket to the roof (it is already a pretty long wait).
In general I think that the bill about the per country vias cap has no chances to be taken seriously.
The bill about recapturing visa from previous years has high probability of success being it has been done before (I honestly thought there is no need for a bill but they should just apply the rules as they are but I might be wrong). But the problem here is the capability of USCIS to process enough application to use those VISAs. Recent news and report show that they are doing pretty well this fiscal year so maybe this problem is easy to overcome and the process to increase USCIS efficiency is already in place. |
