This bill would help fix broken legal immigration system paving way for many skilled legal immigrants towards citizenship. Current delays due to insufficient visa numbers has made US immigration system a nightmare for legal immigrants. Due to current laws legal immigrants get stuck in the process for anywhere from 6-8 years without much scope for advancement in career - which if fixed would benefit US of A.
This bill is an excellent effort to ensure all the available immigant visa numbers are utilized and to ensure that this kind of inefficiencies are eliminated in the future! This would also boost the confidence of future legal immigrants in the US immigration system. Go HR 5882!
