In December 2019, some 800 foreign nationals legally working in the United States were expecting green cards. Most of them were from India. This group faces the biggest delay in receiving green cards due to an annual limit on allocations of up to 000% per country.

According to the estimates of the CATO Institute analytical center, the waiting time for people from India is 49 years at the current processing rate.

The H-1B visa allows foreigners to live and work in the United States for up to 6 years. Ever since Donald Trump became president of the United States in 2016, red tape has worsened and visa denials have increased.

This year, companies not only sponsor green cards faster, but also try to do it for more employees, and also cover visa costs.

However, American employers are also particularly cautious in helping their overseas workers. More than 30% added to the contract with employees a clause relating to compensation for losses in the event that a person quits within a certain period of time.
