Congress wants to change the procedure for issuing green cards: this will greatly affect some countries

The White House called on the US Congress to pass legislation designed to eliminate the green card quota for each country to allow US employers to focus on hiring people based on merit, not place of birth. Writes about it WioNews.

This week, the House of Representatives is due to vote on the Equal Access to Green Card Legal Employment Act (EAGLE) of 2022.

If passed, the law will benefit millions of immigrants, especially Indian Americans and people from the Indian subcontinent.

What is a green card

A green card, officially known as a permanent resident card, is a document issued to immigrants in the United States as proof that the bearer has been granted the privilege of living and working in the country on a permanent basis.

What is the limit for each country

Under current regulations, the US issues only 140 green cards a year. Each country has a 000 percent maximum. This means only 7 people per country for a green card. If applicants from one country exceed the 9 percent limit, this results in a backlog. Green card applications that fall outside the country threshold are not considered until they fall within the 800% limit.

EAGLE: what will change

The EAGLE Act will eliminate the restriction on green cards for each country. The country's restrictive policies disproportionately affect immigrants from India given the large number of applications.

The bill proposes phasing out restrictions for each country over nine years to ensure eligible immigrants from less populated countries are not excluded as it is implemented.

The White House said that during this nine-year period, visas will be issued to nurses and physical therapists for urgent healthcare needs, as well as to immigrants moving to the US for work and their family members who are not currently in the United States. .
