⚠️ CALL TO ACTION: Iranian professionals and scholars in the U.S. are being put at risk by a USCIS pause on critical forms like I-765, I-129, I-140, and I-485. These are not paperwork delays. These are lives and futures on hold. @SecMullinDHS @SecRubio please act.

@NewbieBadASS @DHSgov @ICEgov @SecMullinDHS Please resume USCIS adjudication for vetted Iranian scholars, doctors , and highly skilled professionals. #LiftTheHold #USCISPause

@SecMullinDHS Mr. Secretary, We respectfully urge you to resume and complete adjudication of immigration cases that have remained pending within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for extended periods, leaving highly skilled professionals and scholars in prolonged uncertainty. Such delays risk conflicting with the principles outlined in 8 U.S.C. § 1152, which prohibit discrimination based on nationality or place of birth. These individuals have complied fully with U.S. law and have made meaningful contributions to American science, technology, and the broader economy. Prolonged inaction undermines confidence in the rule of law and creates a lose–lose outcome; both for those affected and for the United States’ long-standing commitment to fairness, merit, economy and prosperity.

@HE0731ARS @JudiciaryDems @SenatorDurbin #LiftTheHold Thank you for highlighting this important issue and advocating for talent that strengthens America. Please extend the same support to PhD students and high-skilled NIW applicants facing the USCIS hold. @ChuckGrassley @JohnCornyn @SenThomTillis @SenKatieBritt

Dear Senate Judiciary Democrats @JudiciaryDems @SenatorDurbin Thank you for your leadership in supporting physicians and working to lift the hold on their applications. We respectfully ask that you extend similar consideration to pro-American scientists, engineers, and other National Interest Waiver (NIW) applicants, whose expertise drives innovation, economic growth, and national competitiveness. Here is the pathway of a person currently being impacted by the @USCIS #pause: Top ~5 in his/her elementary school ↓
Top ~5 in his/her middle school ↓
Top ~5 in his/her high school ↓
Top ~1% among ~1M in a national college entrance exam ↓
Top ~5 in his/her undergraduate class ↓
Achieves a high score on the TOEFL exam ↓
Achieves a high score on the GRE ↓
Works ~80 hours a week while being paid for 20 hours in his/her graduate program in the U.S. ↓
Publishes high-impact journal papers and demonstrates clear benefit to the U.S. ↓
Pays significant fees (sometimes their entire savings) to USCIS for adjudication ↓
Must leave the U.S. after 5–10 years simply because USCIS does NOT do what it is supposed to do: proper adjudication. Supporting these pro-American individuals helps ensure that the United States remains a global leader in science, technology, and public well-being. #LiftTheHold

📰NEWS: Another federal appeals court just ruled against Trump’s push to indefinitely detain immigrants without due process.

@SenAlexPadilla The ongoing #USCISPause is causing significant hardship for many legal immigrants, including risks of job loss and potential gaps leading to deportation concerns, with limited solutions available. #LiftTheHold"

@karinfischer @QuinnipiacPoll 76% see international students as a good thing. They strengthen the education system and attract top talents. OPT for these students is a tiny fraction of the US job market (<0.3%). Instead of a blanket pause, we urge stop fraud through OPT. #LiftTheHold #USCISPause

Three-quarters of Americans think international students are a “good thing” for the U.S., but views diverge widely based on political affiliation. Most Democrats and independents think its a positive, but only about half of Republicans surveyed agree in a @QuinnipiacPoll

@RepNancyMace High-skilled immigrants fill the job gaps and do specific tasks. They complement the requirements, not substitute Americans #LiftTheHold #USCISPause

The Left says: "This country was built on immigrants." Yeah, LEGAL ones.

@ckuck ~50k intl students get Green Cards annually after using OPT -> H-1B paths. Asylum & family-based inflows are straining the system. Fix the big drivers first to keep americans first #LiftTheHold #USCISPause I often see non-student immigrants, it is rare to see student

Now, we learn that DHS is close to eliminating Duration of Status entries for student visa holders. More chaos to crush the legal immigration system.

@Realneo101 🤯😨😰😭

🔴DON’T LOOK AWAY This is Shayan Hadian. He is 17. A swimmer. A boxer. The Islamic regime arrested him after the January protests and forced him to confess he “led the January protests.” Now they plan to hang him. He is just a kid. Share this before they kill him.

@matloff @JBlunt1018 There are scientific studies (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC48… and papers.ssrn.com/sol3/Delivery.…) found limiting foreign talents lower economic growth. Foreign talent fill gaps and specialized skills rather than merely substituting Americans' opportunities. #LiftTheHold #USCISPaus

@JBlunt1018 Interesting that you feel you can ignore basic economics. As I've said before, the effect has even been quantified. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">phys.org/news/2012-02-g… watermark02.silverchair.com/219mukhopadhya…

If you’re against H-1B and truly believe, in your HEART OF HEARTS, that H-1Bs are paid LESS solely because they are visa dependent, I have a suggestion for Congress: Require EVERY company hiring ANY employee — even U.S. citizens — to file an LCA WAGE ATTESTATION. Watch how fast the “CHEAP LABOR” narrative collapses.

@SaraGonzalesTX Wow, this is insane. These guys are straight-up abusing the system. Absolutely nuts 😠 Great job, Sara!

🚨 CAUGHT ON CAMERA 🚨 Whistleblower EXPOSES daycare owner illegally selling H-1B visas…and he has ties to the Chinese Communist Party?!

@CBSNews #USCIS should address these issues while the changes are being implemented. Longer processing times can be managed through temporary rule adjustments that protect current or near future applications. #LiftTheHold #USCISPause

@NedaSa_ @SenatorDurbin @JudiciaryDems @USCIS @SenGaryPeters @SecRubio @CatoInstitute @SenateGOP @SecMullinDHS @SenMullin @ChuckGrassley Thanks @SenatorDurbin for your support. We really appreciate you for addressing this issue. Well explained👏 #USCISPause #LiftTheHold

America became a global leader by attracting the best and brightest minds from around the world. Right now, this administration has indefinitely paused most immigration processing for high-skilled applicants from 39 countries. Only because of the country where they were born! Even worse, there is no clear timeline, no transparent criteria, and no accountability for when these holds will be lifted. The human cost is real. She is a medical researcher from Iran. Does she look like “the worst of the worst”? There are thousands like her residing inside America for years and being harmed right now. Listen to what @SenatorDurbin is saying at the Senate hearing.

@BrmTheGreat @USCIS @SenatorDurbin Thanks @SenatorDurbin for your support. We really appreciate you for addressing this issue. Well explained👏 #USCISPause #LiftTheHold

Knock knock. Hi free world, If you want to know what #USCISpause means and how @USCIS tortures LEGAL immigrants by leaving them in limbo, please take the time to watch this 10-minute speech by @SenatorDurbin. No time? Watch from 5:47. youtu.be/GL6Pg0UdaS0?si…

@SenJackyRosen #USCIS should address these issues while the changes are being implemented. Longer processing times can be managed through temporary rule adjustments that protect current or near future applications. #LiftTheHold #USCISPause

In most cases, workers with legal work permits can only apply for renewals six months before they expire – but the government can take far longer than that. The Trump Admin issued a rule getting rid of automatic extensions of work permit renewals, meaning that folks who have done everything right and played by the rules could lose their ability to work legally while they wait for the government to issue their renewals. Businesses and our economy as a whole will suffer without these workers, making prices go UP. I’m headed to the Senate floor to force a vote and reverse this unfair rule now.

@SenTimKaine Many legal immigrants are experts in STEM & healthcare. They drive growth that creates more jobs,opportunities & welfare for all. Citizens of country benefit the most. #LiftTheHold #USCISpause

Good news: across the U.S., anti-immigration bills in state legislatures are failing—in large part because the business community is pushing back. I'm glad more folks are recognizing the immense contributions immigrants make to our nation. They deserve to be celebrated.

@RepYassAnsari @SenMarkey Bravo 👏hanks for being our voice. Iranians are going through very hard times right now LONG LIVE @RepYassAnsari 🤚 #USCISPause #LiftTheHold

The Trump Admin has frozen USCIS processing for Iranian nationals, putting 12,000+ students at risk of losing legal status. Forcing them back to Iran now puts their lives at risk from regime repression and an active war. @SenMarkey and I are demanding immediate action.

@ReichlinMelnick Discriminating based on birthplace is not fair. The hardworker immigrants shape brilliant future for this country. This USCISPause won't MAGA #LiftTheHold #USCISPause

Imagine you are an immigrant here legally, working, paying taxes. Your status comes up for a renewal, and you file the paperwork months in advance. Then the government tells you they refuse to process your renewal because of where you were born, and if you lose your job, tough.

@RepNancyMace Supporting legal immigration means fixing the #USCISPause that's stalling vetted talent in STEM & healthcare. These contributors strengthen America without welfare risk #LiftTheHold

@nbcsandiego That is sad. We do bot hear of such scams from scholarly or professional legal immigrants at all. Yet the recent #USCISPause is causing real trouble for them too. Please #LiftTheHold for doctors and others sincerely serving the country, instead of punishing the honest ones

Brand Jimenez pretended to be an ICE officer to scam victims by telling them he could help with work permits, legal U.S. residency and citizenship. He charged each victim between $10,000 and $20,000, prosecutors said. on.nbc7.com/DGs74KV
