Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah announced that he has introduced a new bill, H.R. 633 to Eliminate Per Country Limit in Employment-Based Immigration.
He introduced the similar bill H.R. 3012 in the 112th Congress which was successfully passed in the Republican House but failed in the Democratic Senate.
Elimination of per country
limit in the employment-based immigration was also introduced
by another Senator from Utah, Orrin Hatch, as part of the Immigration
Innovation bill.
According to Rep. Chaffetz, Sen. Mike Lee of
Utah will introduce a companion bill in the Senate. The same
happened with H.R. 3012 last year.
Again, the chance for passing
as a piecemeal legislation is questionable, but this bill can
affect the employment-based immigration component of the CIR.
