Isn't this the exact opposite of Trump's plan?

Yes it will be and also the family based one. So I'm waiting for that valid link because this does not sound right at all.

There are lot of things written / heard about the New immigration bill which is introduce which will hike the wages to $130K ...

 

But no one talks about below two things which will help both Employment & Family base immigration

 

-      Per country Cap for Employment will be removed!

-      Per country cap for Family based will be increased from 7% to 15 % !

 

 

 

SECTION 2. NUMERICAL LIMITATION TO ANY SINGLE FOREIGN STATE

 

 Eliminates the “per country” cap for employment-based immigrant visas so that all workers are treated fairly. o Ends discrimination in allocation of employment-based visas so employers can hire the most skilled workers without regard to national origin. o Ensures that all employment-based immigrants are subject to the same wait times for visas.

 

 Raises the “per country” cap from 7% to 15% for family-sponsored immigrant visas.

I think that you're taking this the wrong way.  From the looks of things, they want to raise the wage so high that employers cannot afford to bring people in on an hb1

It's in section 3 - 

 

Per the Department of Labor May 2015 Occupational Employment and Wages (the most recent data available), the new annual wage exemption level would be greater than $130,000

It says " Ensures that all employment-based immigrants are subject to the same wait times for visas."  

 

So my thought would be , we will not have different "Wait times" for different countries...We will have ONLY ONE priority date for all the countries...
