A lot of arguments are made on why the employment based green card is unfair and discriminatory. Similarly, arguments are also made to not change the rules as they would benefit immigrants from one or two countries but will hurt all others. In this video, I presented arguments from both sides.
According to me the answer to the question in the title is very simple. Every country has a right to decide whether it wants a foreigner to become a permanent resident or not. When we are the ones who are thinking of immigrating there is no point in asking the country itself to change the system for us. That's not how the world works. Besides, if you're truly exceptional and did a PhD then you can get a green card through EB1A or EB1B which don't have huge backlogs. Anyway I think if one wants to study in US and then settle after that they shouldn't come unless their course is related to technology. If PR is the ultimate goal, Canada is much better. There's free healthcare and stuff too in Canada.
The point the above statement is true for Indians only, is the whole root cause of the discussion. Also Nothing changes if your course is related to technology or not. Indians should not come to USA for study, if they want to use that to get a PR, period!
Agree with Professor on most things but want to clarify that this 7% rule is discriminatory against Indians and Chinese. When H1B visas are granted disproportionately to Indians and Chinese, then no one says that there should be a 7% country limit on H1B visas and that people of Indian or Chinese origin should not get more than 7% of the H1B visas. But when it comes to giving Greencards, then they don't want these same people to get Greencards. The lawyers and USCIS make money on this frequent renewal but keep innocent people locked in Greencard hell. They are giving H1B to Indians and Chinese to make them work, but everybody other than Indians and Chinese get the Greencard as the wait is 195 years for Indians and 18 years for Chinese. So get the work from Indian and Chinese and discriminate them. If that is the case US should advise people of Indian and Chinese origin when applying H1B that they have no chance in hell of getting a Greencard!
Many politicians have talked about Greencard reform in the USA, but nothing has been done for the last 15-20 years. This is like caste, class, race discrimination. The fact that they can discriminate on the basis of the country of birth is downright unfair. But Indians and Chinese mmigrants are only here to be exploited.
Anyway the de facto message of Republicans and Democrats both is the following: Indians and Chinese not welcome! I only say this to many young students whose only fault is that they have an Indian or Chinese birth certificate. They say US is the land of opportunity. Actually it is The LAND OF DISCRIMINATION. Final message of US Government: INDIAN AND CHINeSE GET OUT!
I mean no one was forced to go to USA right ? o.o this issue has been there for more than a decade why do people still go there. you can just spend 1-2 yrs learning a language and just go to Korea or Europe or somewhere. its equality not equity , then again as he said its a temporary visa and people earn money and pay taxes for public services. if people want to really immigrate they should go for investment opportunities cause there's no quota there.
I disagree how will be discrimination when every country receive the same GC cap every year, that Indians and Chinese are the most interested to immigrate to US is not a problem for America.
Hi Dr. Professor. What about physicians/ medical doctors who are practicing clinical medicine in USA waiting for 10 years in eb2?
You have given your arguments . Unfair is a country is using the youth, the brain of a person for years together who paid the prescribed taxes of that country as per law of that country and have supported seamlessly towards growth of the country’s economic and technological advancement . Human Resource’s has its limitations by its age . If the country has its own resources they would not have invited them legally permitted resources to fulfilling the country’s requirements. The country permitted the resources to work and found them admissible as per their prescriptions. If they are so scared about the demographics, they should at least continue to give work permits such that people invested prescribed time limits will continue to get work permits unless involved in criminal activities. A person working in a country, but had to leave the job for the reason of his work permit expired and not received the renewed one within reasonable period. Consequently there is break of service, mental agony, financial obstacles and what not. I think it is time for every country value
Human Resource’s.
Hi ,
I can well rate to this as I've studied on F1 visa in the U.S.
As per the video, I totally support what Dr. Sankara is saying, H1B was designed and still is a ' temporary work visa' and as per what you say, U.S is inviting brains from other nations as they don't find enough people is baseless as the very reason of H1B is ' temporary' non-immigrant visa which itself or indirectly tells that our stay is ' temporary '.
Yes as he has mentioned, the system is designed in a way that citizens of all nations should get a fair or equal representation in a nation than people from either 1 or 2 countries. Call it our fate/ luck or whatever that many people from India/ China apply and hence there is a huge backlog for people born in India or China since the law says ' no more than 7 % of green cards (employment based) should go to nationals or people born in a particular nation. It's the luck or fate of people from other countries whose nationals are way less than Indians so they get their green cards quickly.
Again as someone said, we have no rights to complain regarding the immigration laws of other nation and need to follow as per the ongoing scenario. Since we ourselves made decision to immigrate from H1B , we need to stick to the rules without treating the laws as either discriminatory or worse , racism, since they ate used widely in the US in other areas.
Also worth noting as he has mentioned that lawmakers have no motivation or business on these issue as people on temporary visas like H1B orceven those with GC are not the citizens of the US.
Also one thing as per my understanding is that the immigration in the US is historically based on family values rather than employment issues unlike Canada or Australia where they have a point based system based on economic potential than family values.
Definitely a country cares about its demographics, that's why they allowed people to work on temporary basis. It was people's choice to come and work, and It was people's intention to settle in the country and not country's intention to make people settle in their country. And why would a country care about a person's financial problems who just came to work for few years.
I think like other countries like uk and canada, United States should move the green card system to point based system .
You are missing on one point there....
If you ask anybody who is wants a hassle free employment in the US , most of them will say they will not be bothered whether they have GC or not if their troubles of not having a GC are addressed . Those are namely:
1. Allow work permit holder to change jobs without the hassle of paper-work
2. Do not age out dependent kids.
3. Make the stamping convenient rather than making them wait for a year to get an appointment slot.
The solution is very straight forward , whenever someone qualifies for I-140 , the person has already been vetted for his skills and ability , provide the person EAD and Advanced Parole. The moot objective of not giving citizenship to the person from India is anyway achieved because GC is not expedited , the diversity point is achieved. This will make his or her life easier so that the person can focus on doing well on the job rather bounce around for survival in the country. You can let the Green card processing take its own time, no problem.
Failing to make people comfortable when it does not impact you is the definition of "Sadism". Giving EAD and Advanced Parole to a person in I-140 has no downside.
Well if they remove country cap on employment based visa, majority of the applicants and the visa approved will be of Indians. I don't think the system is discriminatory. There are thousands of Desi Consultancies right now misusing the H1B visa by filing, I wonder what would happen if the country cap every gets removed?
It is unfortunate that people from countries with large populations are sidelined in the green card process. Law should consider individuals only
No, it's not unfortunate!! The system is designed in a way that everyone ( people from all countries) should get equal chance ... US immigration is confusing for folks who haven't been in the process
If h1b is "temporary" visa, how come it allows people to use it for 10-15-30 years? Please define temporary
So basically to value diversity the US feels a heart surgeon who has studied from a top college in Chicago and contributed to welfare for years has to wait in queue just because he is an Indian? But someone from say Peru gets his GC in blink of an eye? Where is value for merit then?
true but a heart surgeon can get a gc through national interest waiver program. Most of the people clogging gc lines are IT professionals
Excellent explanation. The same country cap applies for Diversity Visa Green Card Lottery as well. The United States has always tried to maintain diverse demographics.
There are three stages in immigrating,
1. Non/Immigrant visa
2. Green card (permanent residence)
3. Citizenship.
Making the first step so unpredictable and holding back someone from step-1 to step-2 (legal challenges) is unfair. These people (step-1) can anyway live in the country until they retire (visa extension), just that it is with a lot of uncertainties. So, they deserve a scale up and flexibility as one gets rewarded in any society/company.
Coming to the comparison you make of one without the green card to one with - why is it all about comparisons! I haven’t seen that often. They just want less uncertainty and more flexibility in their life (which comes with a green card). And coming to Tax as charity - I haven’t heard much on this too. They are paying taxes in a country where they didn’t derive benefits (as young, sick or unemployed)! They are legally living and mostly peaceful. They deserve respect, less mental tension and higher flexibility.
And last, getting to step-2 doesn’t give you the rights of step-3. And there are still a lot of legal challenges to progress towards step-3. Other countries (ex. European) over the world have made it simpler to go from step-1 to step-2 (need to clear some rules like learning a language, following integration course, etc). But difficult to move on to step-3. This needs to be recognized aptly!
Every human looks for his/her betterment. We are all a species on this planet. US wouldn’t be populated as what it is with now, if Europeans didn’t migrate (this is the mass migration you talk about of Indians and Chinese). Having a double standard, with a Mayflower mindset is downright not acceptable! Oh yes, also applies to your statement of, this is my country don’t tell me what to do!
Never has anyone been so concise and crystal clear on this issue. And that's even with arguments and statements from both sides. 💚
Why should employment based green cards have country restrictions? I understand family based quota having the country limit
The president can suggest immigration reform, but it ultimately comes down to Congress to pass the law. Unfortunately, with other issues that are top priorities right now. The elected officials are more concerned with voters votes to keep them in office.
Is it hard to teach well in an easy and entertaining way so that the students would love the subject and the professor, with an average experience in English? For instance I really don't know how to make jokes and relate topics and concepts to everyday circumstances with fluent English.. Especially to teach PHYSICS and ELECTRONICS in a seamless fashion...How long did it take for you to Master English to teach fluently..?Did you use to have such good English back in India?FINALLY,WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE FEW VIDEOS OF YOUR LECTURES...❤️Do help us❤️
Understand but these comments would have been great to hear if this video was posted before u got greencard. may be it would have looked unbiased then to viewers. But keep up good work. thanks for ur videos:)
yes true. But I presented arguments from both sides and these arguments are not mine. I clarified this in the video itself. Moreover, when presenting the argument from one angle, the other side would think that they are biased. You cannot help it. As long as the arguments are valid and truthful, whether or not one likes them, is not in our control
Sir
How many research journal publications do I need to get into a phd America ?
Would review publications count as research publications ?
Please reply 🙏🙏🙏
That's why I decided drop my idea of studying in Texas or California and choose Berlin Germany 😞 but still usa is my first choice
You’ve done a good job explaining the design and purpose of H1 vs Green cards. But, a lot of the advocacy that you’ve pointed out is by people who have grown up in the US and don’t have a green card yet. So since they “age out” of the green card line, they have to start over. I think those people have a valid basis for saying the green card process is unfair. They argue that this is their country.
Please you should share your journey from india to usa after 12th
Because I am willing to become professor in USA. 🙏🙏
a whole series on professorship coming this year
Exactly you nailed it.. There is a gross misunderstanding of the term discriminatory. Yes H1B is a temporary visa/ work permit.
Hi Sir, I graduated from a top university of France with a master's degree in data science. However, I am unable to get any job. So, I have decided to pursue my PHD. Is America a good option for PhD or should I do it from IITs, because I don't want to face an analogous situation ie jobless after PhD degree.
USA is the best place for PhD
US is "THE WORST" place to get a phd for an Indian and you want to settle in US, Go to Canada or UK instead. Don't fall into all these lies. Even if you get a Phd you wont get a green card unless you are really exceptional. You would need to have >150 publications and >10 awards within 1-2 years of graduation. Very difficult to qualify, under Eb1. I wish someone had told me before coming here.
I'm persuing data science in a pvt uni Germany by were you not able to get a job?
Well said, Family visa spillover is happening and May continue until the embassy gets opened in all countries. It will help to clear backlog. I see a quick movement in eb2 now. Hopefully will clear backlog in couple of years
Sir in which subject you pursued your phd in usa???? Love your vedios 💯😍
I agree about their country their rules but don’t agree about because of diversity they put cap on country..
Why they are giving e2 visas to only certain countries which makes path to PR later..
Why don’t they have per cap on EB5 visa (because of $$$) based GC?
Why do they have DV lottery?
Less than 1% of total Indian population may become dominant communities if remove per cap on employment but more than 15 % Hispanic will not change demography..
Asylum seekers and U visa will not change demography!
Already they have 70% European rooted people but more European immigrants will not change demography?
Allready have 10% African American people rooted from Africa will not change demography…allready have 5% Middle East people but they will not change demography….
America is country made from immigrants.they killed American natives hardly have 1 percent remaining in this country…
New subscriber here but does Mr Chaitanya have a green card already or is he waiting like the rest of us?
check my old videos to find out. Only titles are enough.
@@DesiAmericanProfessor yup found it, 🙏🏼 thank u
Bro, when is your marriage vlog coming 😄😄😄
Nice and informative video 👌
will never discuss my personal life on youtube
@@DesiAmericanProfessor isi attitude ki liye beta abhi taak tum single ho.
what makes you think I am single? May be I am, may be I am not. I do not discuss my personal life in my classroom either. Why should I show my personal life and my family life and situation in public? To invite more trolls? No thanks
and out of curiosity, how is me not wanting to discuss my family life on a public domain like youtube a reflection of "isi attitude"?
@@DesiAmericanProfessor hey bro apologies for asking this. I didn't have any intentions behind asking this.
I'm your subscriber since long when you had less than 10k subs.
I wish to see more informative videos. 👍🙂
How can a f1 visa holder get a green card through employer sponsorship
With the best of my knowledge,
General Rule:
F-1 -> OPT -> H-1B -> GC
Direct F-1 to GC is impossible as F-1 is not dual-intent when it comes to employment based Visas(EB-2/3).
Exceptions:
If you are on F-1 and you married a US citizen or GC holder you can Directly jump from F-1 to GC( through family based). Within a few months you may get a temporary GC which is for 2 years. After 2 years of Marriage, the Temporary GC will be converted to Permanent GC for 10 years.
Guys, please correct me if I am wrong in any of the points I made.
@@adityanrajesh2634 Direct F1 STEM OPT to EB2/3 is possible if someone is not from India/China.
Nice perspective. Can you please make a video on oci application and surrender of indian citizenship? Thanks
The process has changed since I did it. But I remember in one packet I had both, the citizenship renunciation form and the application for OCI form.
Excellent.,. an eye opener for everyone
Your from which state sir...
There is big discrimination in Immigration system
If you think H1B is unfair by giving opportunity based on lottery and not on merit based, then reservation is also unfair.
I am Indian and on H1B, I think US is best country and thinks logically. I like Trump too as he cares first about his citizens. We should be grateful that atleast US is allowing people from around the world to cherish here. If you want GC, their are other different ways for it aside H1B.
It is a beautiful system. Other countries lack even a simple system.
so true right
Aptly said, even I'm Trump supporter and those who read or watch his statements thoroughly understand his motives, be it the wall on the south border, moving US away from unfair trade practices, banning citizens of some problematic countries and more; atleast he is true to his voters!!
Yes , there are several other ways to get GC , H1B, L1 are the common paths and so extremely tough for India/ China born.
US was better under his tenure I suggest, I'm no way saying that the current administration is hopeless or neutral, my thoughts!
Also as said by Ankit, we should thank US that they are allowing people to come and work.
Those who say about Canada or Australia since they have a nicer way of admitting skilled immigrants (
Cont'd.. (they have a wonderful point based system) , but the real opportunities are less compared to what you get in the US; both are expensive than U.S , especially housing which eats the chunk of the salary.
👍🏻
Well explained sir
Sir, your video has been immensely demotivational to me for the past few weeks. You are saying we should give up all the hopes, since every country has the right to choose who to accept as permanent residents and US has chosen, that they don't give a fcuk about Indian temp workers. On other hands when I looks at your channel, it is full or positive feedbacks about changing the status quo. May I ask... why fight? just be satisfied with whatever this country has given you.. that is how we Indians justified two century of British slavery.. just give up..
@@tarakwagle2583 Funny thing is when I checked his google scholar profile, he has fewer citations than me.
citations are a function of the area of work my friend. Papers in sciences get very high citations. I am in the field of Information Systems, a smaller field, within which my research is on business value of IT, which narrows the field even further. To put it in another way, in the field of business, management science is one of the most reputed journals and one of the most difficult journals to publish in. But at the same time, the journal gets much fewer citations than many easy level journals.
I promise, I have zero influence on green cards for others. There is no possible way for me to extend or not extend any opportunity related to green cards. I answered your criticism in the first 40 seconds of this video th-cam.com/video/oifX1NcxSvU/w-d-xo.html
hindi language bolo to bahut logo ko samaj mai aayega.
Very good 👍 explanation sir
Sir thanks for this information
Isse acha jaana hi nhi US me ,itni zhanzat he toh
yeah
First
See the problem is everyone run's after the H1B or L1 which are low level visa's and then they cry when they don't get it, the thing to do is to apply for the O1 which has no cap, no submission deadline , no requirement to prove intent not to immigrate AND has a 90% approval rate
But o1 visa is for extraordinary talented persons.
