Modernizing the Employment-Based Immigrant Visa System
As you know, our employment-based immigration system is afflicted with
extremely long waits for immigrant visas, or "green cards," due to
relatively low green
card numerical limits established by Congress 24 years ago in 1990. The
effect of these
caps is further compounded by an immigration system that has often failed to
issue all of
the immigrant visas authorized by Congress for a fiscal year. Hundreds of
thousands of
such visas have gone unissued in the past despite heavy demand for them.
The resulting backlogs for green cards prevent U.S. employers from
attracting and
retaining highly skilled workers critical to their businesses. U.S.
businesses have
historically relied on temporary visas- such as H-lB, 1 L-lB,2 or 0-13 visas
-to retain
individuals with needed skills as they work their way through these backlogs
. But as the
backlogs for green cards grow longer, it is increasingly the case that
temporary visas fail
to fill the gap. As a result, the worker's temporary status expires and his
or her departure
is required. This makes little sense, particularly because the green card
petition process
for certain categories requires the employer to test the labor market and
show the
unavailability of other U.S. workers in that position.
To correct this problem, I hereby direct USCIS to take several steps to
modernize
and improve the immigrant visa process. |
