Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS 3rd District) along with other members of the House, have proposed HR392 as an amendment to DHS 2019 funding proposal. This amendment is designed to solve backlog problem for Indian and Chinese high-skilled workers who are seeking employment-based immigration, which has delayed their application process up to ten years.
While it is unfair to Indian and Chinese applicants to stay in the process for such a long time, HR392 will not solve the problem it is designed to, but only shifts it to other nationalities.
In long-term, HR392 will be against the concept of diversity in the United States as it will create an advantage for Indian and Chinese communities, while other nationalities will be forced to choose between living far away from their loved ones for years, or just leave the country.
We believe there are better solutions to backlog problem, such as eliminating DV-Lottery visa program, which will potentially increase the number of Indian & Chinese Green Card holders by up to 50,000 per year, increasing the application cap for citizens of India and China, and possibly increasing the annual number of approved applications to high-skilled workers.
By signing this petition, I pledge the House of Representatives to investigate the consequences of this amendment in long-term, which can determine the future of hundreds of thousands of foreign students and high-skilled workers, and consider other solutions which will not be against the fundamental values of the United States of America.

We are approaching one hundred signatures which marks a clear moment for us to consider how our collective perspective on this legislation is growing. The scale of this outreach will soon reach a point where those in the House of Representatives must take notice of our concerns. Please help us cross this threshold today so our message carries the necessary weight.

Passage of HR392 open the doors for abuses of Green Card process similar to what is happening right now with H1B. This will prevent the top talent to gain residency in the US and floods the application pools with applicants from a single country.
It increases the waiting time for other countries to more than 5 years! After travel ban, we can’t even get visa to come back to US. That’s why I haven’t seen my family for 6 years! And you want to postpone in for 6 more years?! Come on!!
HR392 would squeeze the equal right of immigrants from other countries. It would kill the diversity and an option of immigrants who are high skilled workers and highly talented researchers from the rest of the world, which are 70%!
I've lost my job of 17 years to H-1B with certificate, while i have MS in Computer Science from NYU, and 2 BS in Computer Science and Mathematics. I couldn't find a job for the last 2 years. Please help American IT workers and cancel HR392!!!
This bill will kill thw diversity in work environment and increases nepotism throughout different job market. It doesn’t have efficiency to eliminate the backlog just spreads it throughout every nation applications. It’s not a solution and it will make bigger problems.
I disagree
Say "NO TO BILL S.386". Bill S.386 is a racist bill that just favor's Indian citizens say "NO TO S.386". This bill is a death warrant for US Tech Workes. Shame on the Senate and House of Representatives to support S.386. This bill would generate even greater traffic of cheaper labor coming from abroad with the promise of permanent EAD work permits and eventual green cards for nationals from just INDIA.

I do not support hr 392 as it is the most unfair bill to rest of the smaller nations and in favor of only larger nations like India. To accommodate 1 or 2 larger nations at the expense of rest of the world to suffer is totally unacceptable.
