An Immigrant on Immigration's primary objective is to share information with fellow migrants and hopefully assist individuals who either plan to or are in the process of legally migrating to the United States.
That said, one of the things I wanted to learn more about is how the immigration reform bill's path to citizenship proposal would affect approximately 4.7 million prospective migrants currently waiting eons to obtain a visa number.
So here are the facts:
The immigration reform bill, if passed, would create a path to citizenship for approximately 11 million illegal migrants. Importantly, the bill's passage does not disenfranchise individuals currently waiting for a visa.
President Obama proposes creating a mandate for individuals illegally in the US to undergo a process of paying taxes, learning English, background checks and paying a penalty before joining the legal migration queue like everyone else.
A copy of the proposed bill available here.
This blog is about my immigration journey - which began in the late-1990s - from Zimbabwe to the United States of America. I am sharing my experiences with the objective of helping individuals who, similarly to me, may find the immigration process impermeable. I am not an attorney and the contents of this blog do not constitute legal advice.
