Call above members of Senate Judiciary committee (If they ask why you're calling their office if you're not from their state, tell them that as honorable senator is a member of the Judiciary Committee and they will be meeting tomorrow - Oct 20 - to include immigration relief provisions in budget bill...and you're calling to support it), explain them that you are highly educated, skilled professionals, law-abiding, tax paying LEGAL IMMIGRANTS and how employment based visa retrogression affected (and hurting) you, your employer, US economy and your family...
Request them that you're seeking honorable Senators help to eliminate employment based visa retrogression...some of possibilities are...
(1) Allowing I-485 and EAD filings even if visas are not available, and then processing I-485s per priority dates.
(2) Counting Immigrant visa per primary applicant only, rather than counting for everyone in family
(3) Recapturing all the unused Visas for the past 10 years.
(4) Removing the per-country visa limit or modifying it to suit the population ratio of each country
(5) Increasing yearly quota of employment based immigrant visas
(6) Making the immigration process independent of employer.
Also post your conversation with Senators here which will encourage others.
