Seeking a little more flexibility

My previous blog points out about more general issues of legal immigrants here in this country.

Now I get to
a more specific issue that we are all facing right now.

Most of us are here on H1B and applied for permanent
residence, but due to recent retrogression(i.e., don't have enough greencards for all of us) we are all stuck in the line and have no idea when those green cards become available for us.

U
ntil then we just have to stay here through other means, and if we fail to do that then all of our wait and effort is a waste and we have to leave the country.
What we all asking for is a little flexibility from the government so we can be a little more comfortable until those green cards become available.

M
ore specifically, allow us to apply for I-485(Adjustment status) even though there are not enough visas(green cards) and that gives us EAD(employment authorization) to us and our spouses. 485 application doesn't have to be approved right away and can wait until those visa dates become current. This would give us a lot of comfort by allowing us to switch jobs, allow our spouses to work etc.

We at least deserve this for patiently waiting in line to become immigrants LEGALLY.

I hope I get some support.
