More than 800,000 people are waiting for the green card and most of them are Indians. It has become very difficult to get the green card under Trump administration.
FREMONT, CA: The H-1B and green card situation of the US has become quite severe. Several people approximately 800,000 are waiting in line for the green card, and a maximum number of them are Indians. The Donald Trump-led government has imposed on the rules of the visa and green card.
As per reports, about 800,000 immigrants are working legally in the United States of America, and want to take up permanent residence in one of the most popular countries of the world. As there is a vast backlog that has set back the timeline of the process of obtaining a green card by at least 50 years so this won’t be happening anytime soon. The main reason behind this is the battle going on in the US right now.
As per reports, this policy talks about an annual permissible amount of green cards to be handed out and the limit of card given to particular country. Also, these limits were introduced a long time before India went through a tech boom in the recent past, making India one of the top countries to seek employment-based green cards.
A lobbyist and immigration attorney, Bruce Morrison said, it ultimately means that valuable skilled people decide to leave because they know that they are never going to get what they had hoped for. These people don’t come because they figure our system is so broken they can’t see their way through it. Therefore, other countries bidding for these skilled workers get those workers, and U.S. suffers.
Annually the U.S. Government provided about one million green cards, of which more than 100,000 are based on employment grounds. In that, more than 50 percent of the employed immigrants, and 75 percent are Indians who are waiting in line, and the remaining number of people are Chinese.
Several people in the US are discussing if there should be a temporary measure to bring down the waiting time for the green cards. Some Congressmen have been trying to speed-up the process to make sure that talented Indian workers do not choose to migrate to other countries.
