'Might Take Decades': US Green Card Backlog Forcing Indians to Make Tough Calls

The Quint  

Annual allotment limits are based on the country of birth of an applicant, not their nationality. The law says that a country can receive only up to 7 percent of green cards in a year. Within these six years, they must find an employer willing to file an employment-based green card application on their behalf. With the largest share of H1-B visas granted to India-born high-tech professionals each year – on an average 75 percent of the allotted – the 7 percent country cap has created a massive green card processing backlog, hitting Indian H-1B visa holders and their H-4 dependent families the hardest. Co-founder of the advocacy group Green Card Backlog Coalition, Raghu believes that the H-1B related employment-based immigration laws were ‘written decades ago for the country’s needs of that time’.
