We've advocated for years about the need to increase green card numbers and eliminate #percountry limits. But we also need to make sure existing GC numbers aren't wasted. This year, we risk losing 100k numbers due to the challenge of processing that many applications in time.

It is, truly, no small feat for USCIS to handle and adjudicate the influx of applications, especially with the challenges of the pandemic. But at a time of scarcity, we can't afford to waste these numbers. People in the backlog have been waiting too long. #PreserveTheNumbers

"The creativity and innovation boost that comes from diverse teams is critical in competing with the sheer numbers of scientists and engineers being produced by our global competitors such as China. " Sudip Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science

The #h4ead was a boon for women like me who moved to the US because of our partners. We leave behind our entire lives for family and are grateful to be able to continue our careers. Except it’s not real. 1/n Vice President JD Vance President Donald J. Trump @wasdenbanias Save H4EAD

USCIS ARCHIVED: Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas President Donald J. Trump Please speed up green card process and H4 EAD renewal, Please issue EAD/AP for legal kids as well, Please do not count dependents under EB green card category,DO NOT WASTE green cards as they are lives for highly skilled immigrants in backlog.Thanks

Pre H-4 biometrics, if an H-1B, H-4, and H4EAD application package was submitted together with H-1B as PP, USCIS would approve all 3 together. Now, USCIS will take PP fees for all 3 steps. The backlogged community bears the brunt, have no choice as alternative is job loss.

Was unaware of the “documented dreamer” problem, which we should obviously resolve, this is crazy. thebulwark.com/its-time-to-st…

USCIS charges $410 for an I-765 and they reported in the fee rule that it takes 12 minutes to adjudicate the form. Yet they often take more than 8 months to adjudicate. This is gross mismanagement.

It’s starting to feel like we should start mass exodus of high skilled Indian workers from the USA to pretty much anywhere else. Eventually we’ll take our skills and aspirations elsewhere since the land of dreams is fast turning into a nightmare. #H4EADdelays #eagleact

Attrition by delays. This is how high skilled immigrants with approved Green Card petitions get treated. #H4EADdelay President Donald J. Trump Vice President JD Vance Rep. Zoe Lofgren David J. Bier

Even without the biometrics requirement, H4 processing times are still outrageously long. I just received approvals of the cases I filed last July/August. I have no idea what to expect on recent filings. Why isn't USCIS approving H4s with the corresponding H-1Bs? USCIS Director

When USCIS can change and bend the rules whenever they want to, why can’t they add c26 category to automatic 90-180 days extension if in case the H4EAD is processing. What will #USCIS achieve making an H1B spouse lose their jobs. #SaveH4EAD #H4EADdelays #H4livesmatter

On #WomensEqualityDay2021 let's remind that hundreds of thousands of immigrant women in the US are not treated equally purely based on where they were born. It's long past due to end this discrimination. We urge .Nancy Pelosi & .Chuck Schumer to add #HR3648 into reconciliation.

Anirban Das USCIS is on record in the 2019 fee hike proposal saying an I-765 only takes 12 minutes to adjudicate. Yet they're taking often taking 8 to 12 months to work those cases. Trying to explain why these processing times are acceptable is going to be interesting.

Greg Siskind Got it. If they don't allow filing more than 180 days in advance then they MUST approve within 180 days. Else it's an automatic job loss. 12 mins/file but taking 12 months is unacceptable. Applicants suffering cos of delays. Good luck with the lawsuit. Thx for the explanation.
