It’s not a bill. It’s a recommendation. DHS has been looking into it for some time. Hope this pushes them to actually start stamping soon and not after 2 years

There are more serious bills to give citizenship pathways to illegal immigrants than legal. I used to get excited by these when I started on H1B. Now I know this is just the Indian media making a mountain out of a molehill.

like

Most H1B visa holders don’t lobby on their behalf and spend most of their time bitching about others (asylum seekers or undocumented people). Newsflash: this doesn’t work.

The was Indian media portrays these immigration stories, actually makes me believe that those who write such crap either do not understand the intricacies of Washington DC or do it on purpose for clickbait.

like

There are 1000s of recommendations and draft proposals .. that never ends up with a green signal/pass. Good luck dreaming ! The US gov needs to tighten economy and inflation than helping pass this h1b draft 😂

I agree with everyone that this is a long shot to happen but this is far more likely than the more serious and higher priority immigration bills (dreamers etc.). This could be done without congress and would likely have bi-partisan support in any case.

What is the current wait time for visa to get stamped?
