Its a long wait for GC's but...there is other side of it too..

If every desi guy who filed for GC, gets his GC...Imagine the situation...

IT would more less completely taken over by Desis...forget about your talent but you would get job only if you know someone who is GC...

Homes in desi burrows would be minimum 1 million..although the figure more or less touched in some of the counties already..

and, when desis realise that there isint too much of money in IT anymore, other fields will become competetive too..

Motels and gas stations...checked.

IT Industry....Checked

Real estate....checking

Restraurants....Checking

Ila, anni fields checked ayipotayi...

 

maybe future lo texas, california, nj lanti states ni complete ga takeover chestaremo manollu

They should actually stop giving GCs.

Once up in time US population was low and because of storage of skilled people and low population and to maintain diversity it was started. Now this officially 350 million.

And if you add the influx of illegals and legal immigrants it will be over 400 mill.

Shrivatsan, a 12-year-old Columbus resident who is nicknamed Shri, found out recently that he might never be able to become a U.S. citizen, meaning he also might have to leave the country at age 21 and return to India, a country he doesn’t recall living in and doesn’t call home.

He entered the United States as a 2-year-old with his parents.

His father, who asked not to be identified and asked that Shri be identified only by first name because of his uncertain immigration status, works in information technology and was able to enter the country on a skilled-worker, or H-1B, visa.

Shri’s father, who works for a company based in central Ohio, applied for an immigrant visa in 2012.

“I was very disturbed,” Shri’s father said recently of finding out about the lengthy wait.

“Initially, I was in disbelief. ... He’ll have to leave the country at a certain age,” said Shri’s father. “Permanent residency and a green card would never become a reality in his lifetime.”

 

Shri doesn’t know what the future holds for him. For years, he has been dreaming and planning like other kids his age. He wants to work part time in high school, go to college and work for NASA one day.

“When I heard about this, I had mixed emotions, because I really wanted to stay here and grow up with my friends,” Shri said. “I thought I could stay here as long as I wanted, and I could work for NASA when I grow up, and I could go to college without paying an entire admission fee.”

Without a green card, he can’t work, yet he will have to pay for college out of his own pocket because he’s not eligible for student loans. When it comes to a career, he’ll probably have to apply for the same visa his dad holds. It has a backlog, too.

Families such as Shri’s are beginning to talk about their situation and advocate for change. On Oct. 22, Shri and his father, along with Ashwin, a local advocate for skilled workers who is one himself, will be in Washington, D.C., to talk to lawmakers about House Bill 392 and Senate Bill 281, both titled the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2017. Ashwin asked to be identified only by his first name.

 

The legislation would eliminate a current cap on immigrant visas of 7 percent per country each year. The total number of employment-based immigrant visas available per year is 140,000, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Shri’s family and others wonder why the visas that are not used with certain countries can’t be allocated to India and other countries with large backlogs.

Any leftover visas are allocated first to countries not meeting the 7 percent cap, said a spokesman at the Bureau of Consular Affairs. He said every effort is made to use the visas available.

Ashwin already has talked to some local lawmakers. He said he also has visited Sens. Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown’s offices.

“Rather than a piecemeal approach, Sen. Brown understands we need an overall solution to fix our broken immigration system that allows people to earn citizenship and rewards those who follow the law without penalizing innocent children who were brought to this country through no fault of their own,” Brown spokeswoman Jennifer Donohue said in a statement.

Portman declined to comment.

Ashwin, a Columbus resident who is a member of Skilled Immigrants in America, an advocacy organization for skilled workers, works in aviation locally on an H-1B visa. His 7-year-old son is in the same situation as Shri.

“We just want to follow the law and get green cards,” Ashwin said.

yeah bro...tehre are multiple options man..the father can shift the family right now..going back respectfully at 12 is much better than being kicked out at 21...

If the kid wants to work in space research field, NASA is not the only option. ISRO is an agency respected all over the world. 

Article mentions paying out of pocket for college...elli india lo chadivithe, quality education for dead cheap price..

It's funny when desi people try to behave like vietnamese or other people from communist/dictatorship countries for whom goin back is not an option.

Kids that grow up here won't be able to adjust in India. They will be bullied, Indian education elantido manaki baane telusu either Engineer or Doctor or you are as good as dead. So if they wanted to become something else they can't be that. And not everyone wants to be another IT bot, so their fears are justified and warranted. 

India lo dead cheap education quality education aa adi kooda, ekkada saar. Already 50% gone for reservations most of the places, ippudu adi 70% chestharanta so em cheyali veellu already akkada unna janalatho aa 30% seats kosam kottuku chavala. 

Vietnam is not a dictatorship, don't know where you got that idea from. And yes going back to India will be a severe downgrade to their quality of life, that we can't disagree upon. India lo veellaki ochedi more pollution, more population, lesser standard of living, more traffic, adulterated food and water, reservation and inequality based society and education, sycophancy encouraging jobs etc.

US nachinodiki India nachadu bro plain and simple. India is one of the worst countries to live when it comes to social equality and affordability of quality life. That apart, it's also ranked as one of the worst nations to start your own business in the world and ranks 130 in the world. Even some African nations are ranked above India when it comes to ease of doing business.

but ee article lo uncle sangathi endi?

Vietnam is not dictatorship but it's communist..at least the mass migration from vietnam to US happened  to avoid living under communist rule.

Yes manollu opportunistic ga matladatharu le alane manaki telisinade gaa bro, mana meeduki oche varaku teliyadu ochaka sudden ga fairness equality ani antaru telisinade ga manolla gurinchi. Idi alantide anuko, I agree with you. Edo oka kid kosamo oka family kosamo there's no need to prioritize this, equality and fairness should apply to everyone whether they are single, married, man, woman etc.
