Green Card question: Citizenship and birthplace and quota

b2ok(b2ok)
OK, been asking questions on and off (I put 4 on my W-4 to close previous thread, thanks everyone).

While talking about TN holder/Canadian citizen applying for green card, some guy said the immigration treats people based on their birth origins, not citizenship. This is the case for Chinese Canadians, those born in China and now holding Canadian passports. If that's true (he said so) then we are on a limited quota and green card can be a tough goal. Well, this is assuming sufficient sponsorship from employers (not clear how much money or effort it costs but not impossible).

Any clarifications? Any success experiences?

Thanks!

    • Those are terribly true. Look around and see how hard Chinese H1B holders pursue green cards. That will apply to you too. -zynrl(Nike); 2016-4-22 (#10064108@0)

      最好拿H-1B
      • 看来没别的办法。那么，如果在排EB2期间（假设从现在起3年还没排上）需要续签TN，会有麻烦吗？不好意思，对美国移民没什么概念，就从网上看到H1B名额少，移民排期倒退什么的新闻。多谢 -b2ok(b2ok); 2016-4-24 (#10065364@0) +1
        • 这问题最后应找lawyer问，或移民类网站去问，在这问不出准确结果，还可能得到错的信息 -lathe(o0oO); 2016-4-24 (#10065820@0) +1
          • 我就很清楚 -a1one(顶天立地); 2016-4-24 {4} (#10065944@0)
            哈哈
        • 很简单啊 -a1one(顶天立地); 2016-4-24 {39} (#10065940@0) +2
          先用TN, TN可以3年。期间换HB-1，准备绿卡
          • TN3年肯定拿到HB-1没问题 -a1one(顶天立地); 2016-4-24 {40} (#10065943@0)
            而且不能续TN是已经交了485 了的事，没问题
            • 多谢 -b2ok(b2ok); 2016-4-24 {43} (#10066036@0)
              多谢，H1-B 几乎不可能，EB-2不耽误事就可以了

                • TN就不用那么紧张了 -a1one(顶天立地); 2016-4-25 {20} (#10067943@0)
                  省多少脑细胞啊。。。
            • h1b现在不容易抽到了，如果你没有美国的硕士或博士学位，就不能抽每年20000个的高级学位的H1B. 今年236000人抽85000个指标（65000+20000），普通学位的中签率大概是30%左右。 -happyjogging(happy); 2016-4-25 (#10067006@0) +1
              • So, H1-B vs. EB-2 (not sure my Canadian Master's degree count that much), which way to go? Seems H1b is much harder -b2ok(b2ok); 2016-4-25 (#10067074@0)
                • 有硕士学位是Eb2排期 -happyjogging(happy); 2016-4-25 (#10068286@0)
              • 这个看怎么看，有TN还是放心多了 -a1one(顶天立地); 2016-4-25 {74} (#10067937@0)
                抽不上可以一直抽，不用担心身份。我拿绿卡时，TN/HB-1/EAD 都没过期，省心啊。
            • 谁说3年肯定能抽到，我们抽了2年都没抽中，难不成明年一定中？ 那可是太好了，呵呵。 -julialiu0521(julialiu); 2016-4-26 (#10070129@0)
              • 他说的是tN３年拿到GC -lathe(o0oO); 2016-4-26 (#10070280@0)
                • 连H1B都抽不到，何来绿卡？反正美国身份就是麻烦，要不是看在收入确实比加拿大多很多，前景还不错， 就不折腾了。 -julialiu0521(julialiu); 2016-4-27 (#10071151@0)
                  • TN could get GC -dancerinbright(呆头呆脑向前冲); 2016-4-27 (#10071342@0)
                  • H1B抽到了, 绿卡是迟早的事 -johnneyb(JohneyB); 2016-4-27 (#10071868@0)
                    • 如果运气不好，也可能10年都抽不上呢。 -julialiu0521(julialiu); 2016-4-27 (#10072714@0)
                      • 你怎么这么悲观? 不用抽签not-for-profit 没有cap的还不是一大堆? -johnneyb(JohneyB); 2016-4-28 (#10073434@0)
                        • 美国No profit的行业给的工资低，届时连申请劳工证的必須最低工资都达不到，以后劳工证要求会越来越高， -lathe(o0oO); 2016-4-28 (#10073478@0)
                        • 不是悲观，实际情况就是这样。等我们抽着了来汇报看看到底用了几年。NFP就算了，又不是专门为了身份，主要是工作机会不错，拿TN还是不稳定。私企并购的情况很普遍，失业机会大，还是拿个绿卡安心，也有助于家庭团聚。 ：） -julialiu0521(julialiu); 2016-4-28 (#10074529@0)
                          • Agree. That's for convenience (change/lose job situation, dependents, etc.) -b2ok(b2ok); 2016-4-29 (#10075738@0)
