Legal Immigration Process: US President Joe Biden <\/strong>could think of an overhaul of the legal immigration system<\/strong>, as indicated by a blueprint accessed by the New York Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal calls for streamlining the route to citizenship for H-1B workers<\/strong> in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most H-1B workers face decades-long wait times for their green cards<\/strong> to get approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indians account for almost 70%<\/strong> of the H-1B visas<\/strong> that are given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employers sponsor a large portion of these workers for green cards or permanent residence<\/strong> permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of now, there is no timeline or clarity<\/strong> as to when these proposals would officially be introduced to the US Congress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It does seem that President Biden wishes to implement these reforms through executive actions<\/strong>. Which don’t have to pass Congress,” said Cyrus Mehta, an immigration lawyer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US government can achieve a great deal<\/strong> through executive actions and changes in guidelines, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“However, I am uncertain about whether any of the thoughts that I and other immigration attorneys<\/strong> and experts have proposed have been considered,\u201d Mehta added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden May Consider Changes to the Legal Immigration Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS<\/strong>), which administers the immigration process<\/strong>, recently asked specialists for thoughts and ideas on changes needed to the immigration system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blueprint, named “D.H.S. Plan to Restore Trust in Our Legal Immigration System<\/strong>“. Also, calls for measures to roll back some of the policies set up by previous US President Donald Trump <\/strong>and address backlogs, among different issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 1,000,000<\/strong> individuals got green cards in 2019 before Covid-19<\/strong> induced closures affected visa processing services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A combined and large-scale immigration change<\/strong> may not be possible, said Nandini Nair, partner at law office Greenspoon Marder. Adding that focused and piecemeal executive action<\/strong> might be a better approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, there are proposals to improve opportunities for foreign workers<\/strong> through the H-1B visa program<\/strong>. Also, create access for foreign entrepreneurs who want to start their own business in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, a few entrepreneurs<\/strong> have selected to move to Canada, which has an entrepreneur-friendly immigration policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the document discusses tackling delays in processing<\/strong>, which has increased essentially under the past government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average time taken to support employer-sponsored green cards <\/strong>has multiplied over the most recent four years. With the backlog for citizenship applications up 80%<\/strong> since 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As the Indian people group is the biggest beneficiaries<\/strong> of the legal immigration system. Moreover, any significant change would incredibly profit them,” Nair said. Adding that the US administration\u2019s<\/strong> key focus must be on the green card backlog<\/strong> for Indian nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There must be a considerable change to this system so people from any nation are not waiting decades for permanent residency<\/strong>,\u201d said Nair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
