If US President Joe Biden’s proposed immigration bill<\/strong> is passed, then it would lead to a 35%<\/strong> yearly increase in green card numbers as indicated in an analysis by Boundless, an immigration firm<\/strong>. Boundless estimates that the number of immigrants getting lawful permanent residency<\/strong> or a green card. Would rise by almost 375,500<\/strong> every year to nearly 1.5 million<\/strong> in total if the U.S. Citizenship Act<\/strong> were enacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indians would be the greatest beneficiaries<\/strong> of this increase as the largest increase is expected in the employment-based categories and the diversity visa program<\/strong>. If the bill goes through, an extra 80,000<\/strong> advanced degree workers would be granted permanent residency. Along with more than 78,000<\/strong> “first preference” workers (individuals with \u201cextraordinary ability,\u201d university professors and researchers, and executives or managers at multinational organizations). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indian residents face the longest wait times for employment-based green cards<\/strong> on account of country caps. With some studies pegging the wait time at between 80-150 years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden’s proposed immigration bill could add 3,75,000 more green cards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The green card backlog for employment-based immigrants<\/strong> in 2020 crossed 1.2 million<\/strong> candidates, the highest ever. Indians comprise about 68%<\/strong> of this, or around 800,000<\/strong>. As indicated by information from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just because the bill raises a visa cap<\/strong> doesn’t necessarily mean that all of those green cards will be utilized in a given year,”. Said Doug Rand, Boundless co-founder, and immigration policy<\/strong> expert. If welcoming a few hundred thousand more permanent residents<\/strong> to the United States every year seems as though a great deal, it’s not, added Rand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pointed out that nations like Canada and Australia offer permanent residency more than twice. However, many immigrants <\/strong>as compared to the United States on a population-adjusted basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proposed steps like spouses and minor children<\/strong> of permanent employees no longer counting towards the cap. Along with PhDs <\/strong>from US universities in a STEM<\/strong> (science, technology, engineering, and math) field. Not counting towards caps would all help increase the number of green cards<\/strong> available yearly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
