Looks like Edlow would be confirmed today as USCIS Director. If you are the praying type, pray for people in the ever expanding #greencardbacklog and legal benefits backlogs.

Senate invoked cloture on the nomination of Joseph Edlow to be Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services by a 50-46 vote. After two hours of debate, a roll call vote on confirmation is expected around 5:30 pm. Additional roll call votes remain possible this evening.



You can solve a lot of the perceived issues with the H-1B program by modernizing our green card system. The #greencardbacklog now impacts every nation, with some, of course, more than others. People shouldn’t be stuck with waiting for a green card for a decade (or 60+ years if


There has been a lot of chatter about how the potential Trump 2.0 visa ban could potentially be a "positive" for the #greencardbacklog (which now impacts every country in some way!). @immigrationgirl and I will be addressing this on this week's @VisaVibes episode and what the


“Everyone knows the H-1B leads to a green card” 😅😅 That’s the best joke for million+ H-1Bs stuck in never ending #greencardbacklog. And H-1B is not a perquisite for EB greencards. Many get it directly from F1 and some even immigrate directly on EB visa from abroad.

Everyone knows the H-1B leads to a green card, but if the H-1B selection process isn’t based on merit, how can you argue that the EB process is? And don’t try to claim that the PERM process is based on "merit" or follows any strict labor certification process—it's a complete



A bill introduced by @timkaine aims to protect religious workers affected by the @JoeBiden-induced 15-year visa backlog from self-deportation. Though the text isn’t out yet, call your congressperson to support it. #greencardbacklog #religiousfreedom congress.gov/bill/119th-con…


Hey Congress, do something helpful for the #greencardbacklog and immigrants in general, or ride a bucking bronco? Congress:

Reviewing an H-1B transfer petition this afternoon, and I am again reminded of the inequities in our employment-based immigration system. The worker came to the US in 2010, has had 8 H-1B petitions filed on his behalf, obtained 6 visa stamps at the consulate, started his green

DHS is suspending green card applications for people who are already living in the US with asylee or refugee status! These applications have insane wait times already, and Trump is freezing them solely to make it easier to deny the applications and deport them.

“We cannot jump up high”. This exactly happens to many on #H1B & #GreenCardBacklog We get H1B from a lottery/job & think we’ve Achieved big. Then that’s it.. for decades we get stuck at that level. Takes a really strong force & efforts to come out.


Five more months of seeing the Religious Workers category labeled with a 'U,' meaning 'Unavailable,' before it resumes in October with an even further retrogressed date of 2019. If this isn’t religious persecution, I don’t know what is. #ReligiousFreedom #GreenCardBacklog

This is positive for those stuck in the #greencardbacklog that have to rely on H-4 EAD because they can’t otherwise get green cards. This confirms what courts have found, that DHS had authority to create the program. But I expect the fight over H-4 EAD is far from over.

The Supreme Court passed on a challenge to employment eligibility for spouses of H-1B visa holders. The DC Circuit had upheld the lawfulness of work permits for H-4 dependent visa holders last year. #H1Bvisa #immigration #tech news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re…



Maybe time to return their SS contributions - 20 years on HiB is not temporary! Either put a limit on HiB renewals or reduce the #Greencardbacklog


This is ridiculous. We cannot be giving so many extensions. Clear #greencardbacklog immediately. Thanks for sharing this.


Visa Reality H1B lottery isn’t talent-based. It’s luck. Even after getting it, green card for Indians = decades of waiting. Career stable, life uncertain. #H1B #GreenCardBacklog #IndiansInUS #ImmigrationReality


Fact: India dates stuck in 11-yr backlog, others (incl. China) already at 2022 dates (max 4–5 yrs). Each Indian family suffers ~15 yrs avg in the emp-based green card backlog. It took 5 yrs just to clear the 2009–2014 dates. Most still stuck for decades. #GreenCardBacklog #H1B

As an Indian visa worker - stuck in the 100 year #GreencardBacklog - in the US 🇺🇸, i live in constant fear of who will destroy my life first. Haramjaada Narendra Modi with his corruption/murders or Donald Trump with his madman decisions. Where is God?🤷‍♂️ outlookindia.com/national/budge…

🇮🇳 The "Platinum Era" for India? The surplus visas flow to the oldest backlogs first. EB-2/EB-3 India could see wait times drop by 5-8 YEARS in a single cycle. The biggest backlog clearing ever. 🕰️💨 #India #GreenCardBacklog #GC

Immigration law is so full of hypocritical laws that don’t make sense. Oh USCIS finds that your job is so important that it qualifies for a national interest waiver? Great! Go sit in an arbitrary line Congress created and get your GC in 84 years. #EB2NIW #greencardbacklog



The reason it is disproportionately India and China is the insane #greencardbacklog. Indian and Chinese nationals have to keep renewing their #H1B since they can’t get a green card yet due to country caps.

It is unmistakably outrageous that we've allowed this program to continue unreformed. It is laughably crooked.

Nobody is getting handed green cards. The entire #greencardbacklog is people that have already gone through the process and are vetted. Just have to wait for the green card to become available based on arbitrary caps

Handing out Greencard to 2 million will exacerbate the problem. Once H1Bs move to GC, jobs that are opened only to GC/Citizens will also be lost and further reduce wage for Americans. @JackPosobiec @StephenM @JessicaV_CIS @CIS_org

This Nakka vs USCIS case seems wild. Good case study for #greencardbacklog folks thinking about litigation options for a relief. Any idea what exact outcome plaintiffs were seeking? I couldn't tell from the text.
