Immigration Voice works to remove these and other flaws by supporting changes to immigration law for high-skilled legal employment-based immigrants. HistoryImmigration Voice is a 501(c)(4) non-profit organization that helps immigrants, legislative and executive branches of government solving problems in the employment with the green card process due to delays, USCIS processing and Labor Certification. Immigration Voice's purpose is to improve immigration laws and employment where immigrants can enter into the Unites States economy easier and faster. Immigration Voice is known as a national organization of legal, high-skilled immigrants living in the United States. The organization has almost 100,000 members all around the country and represents the interests of the nearly one million immigrants and their family members stuck in green card backlogs.[2] Goals and accomplishmentsOn March 3 and March 4, 2014, Immigration Voice members held over 300 meetings with lawmakers and congressional staff over two days. Participants will advocate for action on immigration this year and a greater focus on stopping the green card backlogs which will confront employment-based immigrants. Immigration Voice's primary goal is to reduce delays with green cards for immigrants in order to work legally within the United States. Usually the green card system takes about 12 years before a foreign individual may be granted permanent residence.[3] One of the biggest accomplishments for Immigration Voice is being involved in the movement of the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act was first suggested in 2001 and has recently been reintroduced in the United States Senate. The Act would allow conditional residency to students who are illegal aliens, arrived in the U.S. as minors, graduated from U.S. high schools and lived in the country for five or more years, prior to the bill's enactment. California has embraced a version of the DREAM Act that would allow illegal alien children living in the United States to be given private college scholarships to state schools.[4] On May 8, 2014, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced proposed regulations that will allow dependent spouses of certain principal workers to be able to request employment authorization. The current rules are stopping thousands of immigrant spouses living legally in the United States from working while waiting on their permanent residency. The extreme backlogs are making families from certain countries struggle, most notably India; current rules cause financial stress over many years and denying the U.S. economy of the talents of these high-skilled future Americans.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 "[https://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2016/204/110/2016-204110064-0ec82271-9O.pdf Form 990: Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax]".
