OBAMA COULD DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF GREEN CARDS

In response to Congress’ failure to fix our broken immigration system, President Obama has promised to take action regarding immigration before the end of the summer. While most of the speculation concerning what the President may do centers on an expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and the “Parole-in-Place” system, recent meetings between the Administration and immigration advocates suggest that a major reform of the legal immigration system may also be forthcoming.

Our current immigration system limits the number of green cards which may be granted under the employment-based preference system to 140,000 per year, and under the family-based categories to 226,000 per year. The State Department has always interpreted these numerical caps to include that not only the principal beneficiary, but all the derivative beneficiaries of a petition. However, this policy is subject to change since it is not mandated by law.

In the case of an employment-based petition, the principal beneficiary is the person who is being sponsored for a green card through his employer. The derivative beneficiaries are his spouse and children.

This results in waiting times ranging from years to decades in all of the family-based categories as well as multi-year waits for some of the employment-based categories. The fact that there are no per-country quotas for H-1B and other temporary visa categories while the green card preference categories all have per-country quotas exacerbates what are already long waiting times.

Even worse, these lengthy delays for persons trying to immigrate lawfully, frequently result in their children “aging-out” and becoming separated from their parents, sometimes for the rest of their lives. Highly-skilled professionals often choose the leave the US after receiving their advanced education here rather than having to undergo these huge waits.

In response to these concerns, President Obama is considering a policy of counting only the principal beneficiaries of visa petitions toward the numerical caps. Such a change in policy would more than double the number of green card subject to quotas and would greatly reduce the waiting times for persons immigrating to the US.

Such a change in policy would enable persons to reunite with their family members in the US expeditiously. Employers would not have to wait years obtain green cards for their foreign-born employees. Such a change in policy would allow our country to remain the world’s leader in science, technology, engineering and other areas critical to our economy.

OBAMA COULD DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF GREEN CARDS

If this happens what will be the approximate waiting time for F4 petitions.

If this is going to happen there will be shorter waiting times for Family-Sponsored

if obama takes this decision and implements it, then i guess there will be a movement of atleast 2 years every fiscal year for F4 category...it would be golden days for F4 category which has struggled a lot till now...
hope and pray this thing actually happens in coming months...

I urge all F4's to unite in praying that this news " OBAMA COULD DOUBLE THE GREEN CARDS" would come into reality, May Pres. Obama fulfill his promise before the end of this summer, so that no more long waiting time for visa processing, and our dreams to unite with our family in US.

• The President is scheduled to return from the vacation this Sunday. Since the Congress is not scheduled to return to the session until September 9, 2014, his executive action is more likely to be released during the next two weeks since the President may want to release it before the Congress returns to the session.
