One needs to only take a look at the visa bulletins published in the USCIS web-site every month to get an idea of how slow the process is for immigrants in the 'Highly skilled' category from India, China, Philippines and Mexico. For example, applications from the year 2002 are currently being processed today (11 years later) for the EB3 employment based category from India. And the actual time people get the green card may well be 3-4 years later.
This means that these thousands of people have been facing great hardship and constraints in their career. It has in effect stifled innovation in the country.The sword of uncertainty must be removed from their heads NOW if they are expected to stay here, and if the country is to attract more skilled and bright people. Why only Illegals???????
