Equality of China and US work visa

Update:

The U.S. H visa issued to Chinese citizen now has multiple entries within one year. The goal is achieved no matter how much impact of the NIU’s petition brought to this positive change. 

 

The letter to State of Department about US-China work visa inequality from NIU:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Based on visa reciprocity rules http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciprocity/reciprocity_3272.htmlThe Foreigner Residence Permit, typically good for one year and renewable annually, is standard issue for the majority of foreigners working in China, though some (such as company executives, legal representatives, or investors) qualify for a permit that is good for two years. With a valid residence permit you are allowed to leave the country and return, even if your initial entry visa has expired.For Chinese citizens working in the US, H1b visa is valid for 3 months. Upon entering the US, US Customs and Border Patrol officers decide the length of stay for each visa holder and stamp the validity of the entry on I94 form. Although Chinese citizens can legally work with expired H1b visa and valid I94 form, we have to obtain new visas if we leave the US and come back later. There is no United States equivalent of Chinese 'Resident Permit' that allows permit holder with expired work visa to enter China multiple times within one or two year. We strongly believe
the visa reciprocity rule should reflect the actual effect of the visa. I summarized the real effects of both type of visa in table below:

 

 

US – H1b Visa

China – Z Visa

Validity

3 months / 2 entries

3 months / 1 entry

Resident Permit 

n/a

Required after entering China. 1 or 2 year/Multiple entires

Effect

Visa holder may enter US twice within three months

Visa holder may enter China multiple times within 1 or 2 years

 

To respect the equality principle of visa reciprocity rule, we would like to ask you to petition US Department of State to grant Chinese H1b visa holder multi-year and multi-entry visa.  Your attention and response to this matter are greatly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely,

NIU Executive Team Last Updated on Wednesday, 31 August 2011 12:43

President Obama promised change and CHANGE must be done to alleviate our situation!

  • PDF
Dear Friends,
 
If you or any of your family/friends applied or will apply for an EB-2 or EB-3 green card, you know what I mean.It generally takes 5 years for us Indian and Chinese EB-2 petitioners to submit the I-485 form, and 7-9 years for EB-3 petitioners.  During this long waiting period, our jobs are unsecured, our H1-B status highly depends on the job security, we are reluctant to purchase house, change jobs or start our own business, and our H4 spouse cannot work!  The current visa backlog has put numerous eligible Indian and Chinese petitioners waiting for years, deterred our normal life schedule, and corrupted our natural rights to unite with our family at our will!  
 
It is for these reasons that we at New Immigrants United (NIU) launched the following petitions:

1.      Legal Employment-based Immigration Petitioners Deserve NOT to be Heavily Backlogged for Years
Petition Link: http://wh.gov/gyd
2.      Allow Backlogged EB2/EB3 Beneficiaries with an Approved I-140 to File I-485 and Apply for EAD & AP
Petition Link: http://wh.gov/gyp
3.      Assign a minimum of 25% of the annual visa quota to employment-based green card applicants on a quarterly basis
Petition Link: http://wh.gov/427
4.      Allow H-4 visa member to work legally
Petition Link: http://wh.gov/4jB
 
If you feel the same way against the whole EB-2/EB-3 visa backlog, please sign them and help us spread the word now.  We only have 24 days left (until October 22, 2011) for the government to hear our voice and DO SOMETHING.  Obama promised change and CHANGE must be done to alleviate our situation!
