The US House of Representatives<\/strong> passed a bill that will give a path to citizenship for children of E3 and H-1B visa holders<\/strong>. The American Dream and Promise Act will give a pathway to citizenship to immigrants <\/strong>who arrived in the US before 21st January 2021<\/strong>. Both lawfully and unlawfully\u2014who were under 18 <\/strong>at that time and meet certain criteria. The legislation is probably going to benefit almost 2.5 million<\/strong> individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dreamers, or undocumented immigrants<\/strong> who entered the US as children, will be the key beneficiaries <\/strong>of this bill. There are an expected 11 million undocumented immigrants, including more than 500,000<\/strong> from India. According to a policy document given by the Biden campaign<\/strong> in November last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indians face the longest wait time to obtain a \u2018green card<\/strong>\u2019 or permanent residence permit in the US. Almost 70% <\/strong>of the 1.2 million<\/strong> backlogs for PERM or employer-sponsored green cards are Indian nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Path to citizenship for children of H-1B visa holders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A CATO study estimates that more than 66% <\/strong>of minor children of Indian EB-2 and EB-3 green card<\/strong> petitioners on H-4 visas<\/strong>. Around 90,000<\/strong>\u2014could age out when they turn 21<\/strong> and lose eligibility for green cards because of the long wait times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill has passed in the House with Republican support<\/strong> and will require some Republican senators. To vote for it once it comes up in the US Senate<\/strong> before it can be signed into law by President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, five Democratic representatives urged president Joe Biden to revoke the Trump-era ban on non-immigrant visas<\/strong>. Including the H-1B and L-1 visas<\/strong>, on the grounds that this was creating uncertainties for American organizations and their foreign-born employees and their families. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previous President Donald Trump had organized a proclamation<\/strong> in June 2020 stopping the issue of certain non-immigrant visas. Including the H-1B, L-1, H-2B, and J-1 visas <\/strong>on grounds of securing US jobs during the covid-19 pandemic. This is because of a lapse on 31st March<\/strong> and is probably not going to be extended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
