" Both bills would end the diversity green card lottery and ban the entry of all legal immigrants sponsored by U.S. family members, except for spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens. The RAISE Act would also reduce the age at which U.S. citizens can sponsor minor children from 21 to 18 "

Why are you worried? It doesn't apply to spouses? and k-1 in the end is adjustment as a spouse.

No, it won’t. The kinds of bills the republicans are pushing for on immigration will just make things worse for everybody. It may not cut our visa group out but it will definitely affect us all. There is nothing good about immigration coming out of the current white house administration. That you can be certain of.

  There is no need to let overstayers find some fool to use to a green card and make everything ok.  There is no need for parents and siblings and eventually the whole village to move to the US.   And if DV lottery was tied to STEM degrees then it might make sense but in it's current form it is a waste and breaks the pockets of many entrants.

Definately agreeing with NigeriaorBust. I know just on my time here on VJ I have read, and seen some of the things people plan to do and ask questions of how to circumvent the laws, and that is just on VJ. This is just a tiny tiny portion of the actual immigration that is done in this country. The amount of actual fraud has to be extremely high.  And couldn't agree more, one person can technically bring 5 people, then they each bring 2-3 more, and soon one person did turn into a small town. No law/bill passed will ever be perfect for everyone; but it was an overly large reason Trump is in the white house, he ran on immigration reform, and whether people like it or not, the average American of both parties knows it is needed.

I am too worried after reading it on another website. 

Will this law be passed and implement now and what about pending petitions? 

Hope so someone will answer this. 

Trump is doing a bad job really bad!

As my analysis till 2019 no more petitions from us citizens be done

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

 Just with us the family nonsense could bring over a village.   21 siblings  all but the last couple married which would start 19 other families on the chain.   Let the children of those siblings marry  over there  and assuming they don't marry into the same families you get to over 100 families on the immigration train.

No one can say for sure what will happen....but this is quoted from the same article (in regards to pending petitions):

 

"Shockingly, both bills immediately cancel applications for millions of people who have waited years to become legal immigrants."

 

Now, whether or not that is what will actually happen in the end, and whether it would be cancelled for all categories, is another story.

Spouses and minor children of USCs will not be affected as per the article.

If this happen it will be a worst law passed in U.S history.

How can you stop anyone from sponsering his parents? Or child?

I Hope soo congress will not let this bill to pass. 

This is really insane to stop USC sponsering parents. 

And cancelling petitions for people who have been waiting for more than a decade.
