Rep. Zoe Lofgren Introduced Bill H.R. 3119

Rep. Zoe Lofgren Introduced Bill H.R. 3119 in House: Apparently great news for Indian if passed, but people from other countries might not want to eliminate per country limits. 

Following is the summary: 
1. Eliminating per country limits on the employment-based side
2. Raising the per country limit on the family-based side from 7% to 15%;
3. Expanding “AC-21” protection to include L and F visa holders, giving them the same protections H-1B visa holders currently have;
4. Creating a new “W” temporary visa for the spouses and minor children of lawful permanent residents (LPRs) caught in the green card backlogs; and
5. Recapturing unused employment-based and family-based green cards to shorten green card backlogs.
