On an EB2 people like me have decades of wait time to get my GC.
I think a sustainable way is to have professors and universities collaborate with H1B employees directly, to allow for them to publish papers and get in via the EB1 route. It won't work for every one, but could work for some and improve their situation and free up the Eb2/3 queues.
We already have grants from the industry to universities to do research. Is there something like this out there for immigrants like us?
- hardtke 6y agoIsn't the long wait due to the arbitrary cap of something like 50K GC/country/year. Seems like Congress should just fix that as part of comprehensive immigration reform.
- outworlder 6y agoThat's the reason for the wait, yes. Even EB3 is current provided you are not originally from two specific countries.
- fuckyah 6y agoIt’s not arbitrary. It’s to balance immigration. Otherwise you would have 99% immigrating from Asian countries.
