@David_J_Bier is up now. Immigrants don't get in line because they cannot legally do so. Question should be Only spouses, minor children and parents of US citizens can come without massive obstacles.
@David_J_Bier: 84 years is the length of the wait for bachelors level Indians to get green cards because of crazy low country caps.
David - No realistic immigration path for non-college grads.
Now up - Pareen Mhatre - 3rd year biomedical engineering student at U. of Iowa and a documented Dreamer. She came to the US with her parents who entered as students. She switched to H-4. Now aged out. Glad a representative of this group of young people given a chance to testify.
Pareen's change to F-1 application has been pending 9 months. @RepZoeLofgren says she will contact @uscis to find out what's the cause of the delay. Not the point of the testimony but glad this separate problem has been highlighted.
Now Robert Law of the anti-immigrant organization Center for Immigration Studies is testifying (the Republicans invited him). So much for the @GOP being for legal immigration. He's making the (weak) case for stopping all immigration - legal or not.
