Is this intended to ensure that students and H1-Bs will not have a path to residency unless they disrupt their lives here?

It is intended to disrupt immigration full stop and especially brown immigration.

		I notice India being omitted from the list of affected countries though. That’s the major contributor to “brown immigration”

Isn't this about applying for a green card directly from a non-immigrant visa, e.g. student? H1-B is an immigrant visa.

H1-B is defined as “non-immigrant.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa

> H1-B is an immigrant visa.

I don't believe that's correct. H1-B is formally a temporary, nonimmigrant work visa/status which permits "dual-intent" (meaning a holder can be openly seeking permanent residence when applying for [or when on] such a visa without that dual intent being immigration fraud).

		Ah you're right, I mixed up immigrant and dual intent.
