The page is only for religious worker or other like SIJS?

it’s a good effort..

I believe it is an excellent proposal to introduce a bill that enables individuals to remain in the United States legally after the expiration of their R1 visa (5 years). However, an additional consideration could be the establishment of a legal pathway for those whose R1 visa term concludes, allowing them the opportunity to apply for an alternative visa. Even after their R1 visa term (5 years) ends-this is the point.

Thank you for your efforts. I’ve been following your page since 2023 and found it very helpful to get the news or updates. Your consistent efforts to bring attention to this matter are really appreciated. Please let me know how we can work together to find a solution.

when is the bill going to be introduced? 2025 eb4 visas are already over.. next month or so the annual limit will be reached and we will have to wait for 2026.

mine is August 25 2021

Bhupinder: The page is dedicated to highlighting the struggles of religious workers. However, we have partnered with members of USAGM (International Broadcasters) to create a website that sheds light on the issue. Prabhu: Thank you. Jimmy: I completely agree with your statement. S A: Thank you for recognizing our efforts and for following. I'll be sure to keep you updated. Feel free to DM the page. Prabhu: The bill is expected to be released sometime this month. We're keeping our fingers crossed. Terek: Keep the hope alive!

I can’t find it on X or Facebook can you also post the social media links

@N G God bless you for taking this initiative. I hope your efforts will be fruitful to all the religious workers including me who are struck in this limbo thank you🙏

Also I understand that there’s a bipartisan bill being worked on, that focuses on extending R-1 visa beyond 5 years. But what about people like me, whose R-1 visa is already expired, I-485 stuck in pending cause of retrogression. Is there anything proposed like job transfer flexibility while waiting for our dates to become current?

Miriam: Look for the page handle @EB4Coalition or the page name "Religious Workers Coalition." Our profile photo features Lady Liberty. TJ: Thank you. I hope our efforts are fruitful as well. We're all in the same boat. SA: The bipartisan bill in progress is being worked on by Senator Susan Collins and Senator Tim Kaine. The details of the bill are being kept under wraps, but some speculate that its primary focus will be preventing religious workers from having to self-deport when their R-1 visas expire. Additionally, there are unverified claims that it may provide some relief and flexibility for those waiting to receive their green cards. Please don’t quote me on this, as it remains speculation. The Trump administration has also indicated in the Federal Register that some form of flexibility and relief will be introduced into the EB-4 category in September 2025. Until the specifics are released, we won’t know what it entails (details about this are posted on our X page). Aside from these potential developments, the religious worker category currently does not have the flexibility to port to another employer. To obtain a green card, the law, specifically AC21 (please look it up), allows porting between employers when there is an approved I-140 and a pending I-485. However, religious workers are not included in this legislation. You must remain with your sponsoring employer until your I-485 is approved. This is my best understanding of the situation, but I strongly recommend consulting a competent immigration attorney if you are unsure.

Indeed this is great news, I will join the group. atleast there is hope. @N G you write like a lawyer, or law student are u one?

Began to follow your Twitter in 2023. Also writing to my senators, house representative and others on this. Just want to let you know that your efforts are not in vain.

good info but if you’re 485 is pending and r1 visa expired you are allowed to remain in the country as it’s awaiting decision.

bro.. when is the bill going to be introduced?
