On June 30, 2006, new legislation ("SKIL Bill") was introduced in the House
of Representatives, similar to that passed by the Senate earlier this year.
If passed, the SKIL Bill would:
 | Exempt those with U.S. advanced degrees from the H-1B quota. |
 | Increase the H-1B quota for everyone else. |
 | Increase the quota for employment-based green cards, thus relieving the
current backlogs in the EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 immigration categories. |
This bill has a much greater chance of becoming law than the comprehensive
immigration reform bills that are in the news, and we may see relief from the
H-1B and employment-based green card quotas within the next few months.
