Иммиграционная реформа, амнистия, судьба лотереи и пр.

Конечно есть, но он и был, вот насколько этот шанс конкретно для "наших" я имею в виду российских, украинских...ИТшников увеличится это вопрос.

Он снизится , причём значительно.

Не совсем понятно, откуда они взяли информацию о том, что гражданам США нельзя будет привезти родителей. Нашлша в документе два раздела, которые могут помочь пролить свет на этот вопрос:

Currently, there are four preference categories based on family relationships and 480,000visas are allocated to family. Under the new system there will be two family preferencecategories and they will cover unmarried adult children; married adult children who file before age 31, and unmarried adult children of lawful permanent residents. We are expandingthe current V visa to include those with family relationships.

То что в этом отрывке не говорится о родителях, еще ничего не значит. Ведь тут не говорится и о супругах.

Еще есть вот такой отрывок:

The bill amends the definition of “immediate relative” to include a child or spouse of an alienadmitted for lawful permanent residence, and the child or spouse of an alien who isaccompanying or following to join the child, parent or spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

Помогите разобраться, что здесь написано. Точнее что это означает.

Супруги, несовершеннолетние дети и родители - это не family sponsored, это immediate relatives. Там вообще нет лимита для виз.

Помогите разобраться, что здесь написано. Точнее что это означает.

The bill amends the definition of “immediate relative” to include a child or spouse of an alienadmitted for lawful permanent residence,
Законопроект вносит изменения в определение "близкий родственник", чтобы включить в него детей или супругов иностранцев, получивших статус ПМЖ.

Получается, что если человек получил гринкарту, то его жена и дети не будут ждать очереди на воссоединение, а получат гринкарты точно так же, как их получают жены и дети граждан?

and the child or spouse of an alien who isaccompanying or following to join the child, parent or spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
а также [включить в него] детей и супругов людей, которые воссоединяются со своими детьми, родителями или супругами.

То есть если Вы, к примеру, едете воссоединяться со своими родителями, то Ваша жена и дети считаются Immediate relatives и смогут ехать вместе с Вами.

Но это я так, на любительском уровне перевел. Бюрократический язык и на ридной мове не всегда понятен бывает.

ПС: Народ, а где там в тексте про то, что нельзя воссоединяться с родителями?

[Streletz]

Просьба в данном топике воздерживаться от чрезмерного выражения эмоций, флуда (написания сообщений, не содержащих полезной информации или конкретных вопросов по теме топика), оффтопика и гаданий.

Хотелось бы послушать анализ Мr Раевского.

Я вот, что-то тоже не найду. Вижу только для братьев и систер:

The bill repeals the availability of immigrant visas for siblings of U.S. citizens once 18months have elapsed since the date of enactment.

6 things you should know about the new Senate immigration bill
As expected, the Gang of Eight released a summary of its immigration reform bill on Tuesday. The bipartisan group of eight senators — which includes Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), and John McCain (R-Ariz.) — have released, in the words of The New York Times, "the most ambitious effort in at least 26 years to repair, update and reshape the American immigration system." What does that include?

1. A path to citizenship for America's 11 million undocumented immigrants
No surprise here. The so-called "path to citizenship" would allow undocumented immigrants with no felonies to pay a $500 fine and back taxes in order to gain "registered provisional" status — which would protect them from deportation. After six years, if they still have a clean record and another $500, they can keep that status, according to The Washington Post.

Ten years after initially gaining registered provisional status, they would be allowed to apply for a Green Card, provided they pay $1,000, take English and civics classes, have paid all of their taxes, and have avoided committing any felonies. Three years after that they would be free to apply for full citizenship.

For kids who qualify for the DREAM Act — i.e. students who came here before the age of 16 and have been in the United States for more than five years — the path to citizenship would only be five years instead of 13, as long as they successfully complete two years of college or spend two years in the military.

2. Billions for border security
The Department of Homeland Security might be the biggest winner in this bill. According to CNN, it would gain $3 billion in additional funding for better fences, more Border Patrol agents, unmanned drones, and drone operators.

The DHS would then have five years to reach its "Border Security Goal," which entails apprehending and returning 90 percent of the people who try to cross into the United States illegally. If it were to fail, the program would be reassessed by Congress.

3. More pressure on employers thanks to E-Verify
U.S. companies with more than 5,000 employees would be forced to use the E-Verify system, which would run a potential employee's photo identification against a huge database of photos to verify their legal status. The proposal has detractors across the political spectrum, with both the ACLU and Cato Institute warning it would more or less create a national ID, according to The Washington Post. "It's big government at it's worst," says Jim Harper, director of information studies at the Cato Institute.

4. A mixed bag for Silicon Valley
On one hand, tech companies would get an increase in the number of H1-B visas available for high-skilled workers like engineers — something that none other than Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been lobbying for. The problem, according to Politico, is that companies with 15 percent of their workforce on H1-B visas would have to prove, with each new hire, that they weren't displacing a U.S. worker with a foreign one. In Silicon Valley that could slow the growth of otherwise rapidly expanding start-ups.

5. New visas for low-skill workers
The bill would create 20,000 new W-visas in 2015, for employees who would work in nursing homes or provide in-home care, for example. After five years that number could increase to 200,000 depending on factors like employer demand. Currently, companies have no good way to bring in low-skill, year-round workers because current visas only apply to temporary and seasonal workers, according to USA Today. If passed, the measure would be a boon to nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, restaurants, and hotels.

6. Good news for parents and children, bad news for siblings
Today, there is a cap of 88,000 visas available for the spouses, children, and parents of permanent citizens in the United States, according to ABC News. The new bill would eliminate that cap, making it easier for immigrants to bring their families with them. The downside for citizens with brothers and sisters overseas? Visas for siblings, as well as married children over 31, would be cut.

А по бизнес-иммиграции есть какая либо информация?

[Sonia81]

А если тебе больше 31-ого и ты не married, то все ок? Правильно я поняла?
