LOTS of administrative errors + the disruption of #COVID19 means that hundreds of thousands of #greencard slots authorized by Congress will go UNUSED. If Congress and the executive branch act on a few quick fixes, it'll be a major boost to our economy. #GreenCard #visas

If in the courts USCIS say, they are wasting 80k EB GCs, rest assured the number is higher than that.

The wage-based #H-1B lottery rule has been vacated and remanded it to DHS because then-Secretary Chad Wolf's appointment was unlawful. The rule reverts to the random H-1B lottery.

Recapturing unused #greencards would have a significantly positive impact on our economy. Jeremy Neufeld estimates that it would likely contribute $1+ trillion to the U.S. GDP over 10 years and increase net revenue by billions. niskanencenter.org/recapturing-un…
