Cir - Introduced In Senate

Re: Summary of the legal immigration provisions in the Senate bill
After making a quick pass through the sections starting with 2111, here are my initial thoughts:


The per country limit is out, as least as far as the EB quota is concerned.
We do get recapture, but not until the start of fiscal year 2015 (October 1, 2014).
EB1, as expanded, will be quota exempt.
EB1 expansion includes "Aliens who have earned a doctorate degree," and foreign physicians who have completed foreign residency requirements or who have received waivers.
EB dependents are no longer counted against the quota.
EB2 now includes a waiver of the labor certification requirement for U.S. advanced degree STEM graduates who apply within five years of graduation.
EB2 also adds "including alien physicians holding foreign medical degrees that have been deemed sufficient for acceptance by an accredited United States medical residency or fellowship program."
The EB3 "other worker" category will be eliminated and those who were segregated into the "other worker" classification will now be included in the main EB3 classification.
The quota for EB2 will now be set at 56,000, plus any visas unused by EB5.
The quota for EB3 will now be set at 56,000, plus any visas unused by EB2.


Initially, as soon as the bill is signed, we will see a bump of at least 40,000 visas for EB2 and EB3. In practical terms, this is more like 84,000 since dependents are no longer counted against the quota. That, in turn, will move priority dates forward significantly. Next October (2014), with recapture taking effect, there will be enough visas to wipe out the EB backlog in its entirety and make sure that it remains "current" for years into the future.
