green card issue

Washington: Health Officials of the Indian Front peacefully protest in the Capitol Building (Parliament House), demanding the abolition of the per-country quota for lawful permanent residence in America. The Green Card is officially called the Permanent Residence Card. This document is issued to expatriates living in the US, which is proof that the cardholder has the right to stay in the country permanently. Indian-American physicians issued a joint statement on Monday, saying that it would take them more than 150 years to get a green card due to the current system of pending green card granting cases. Under the rule, more than seven percent of the people of any country are not allowed to give employment-based green cards.

He said, “The population of India is in crores but the number of green cards given to its people is equal to the population of Iceland. There is no limit on H-1B visas (H-1B Visa) and 50 per cent of those coming to work on H-1B visas here are Indians. The discrepancy between the H-1B and the green card is making the queue of certifiers get longer and is impacting our professional and personal lives. ”

Indian IT professionals are most affected by this. He appealed to MP Joe Lofgren to submit a bipartisan proposal in this regard to solve the problems of skilled professionals. Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr. Namita Dhiman said, “The long wait for the green card has affected the health workers and their families of the Front Front. They are living in panic and fear. “

He said, “The US president should complete a list of green cards that have not been filled for many years in the front for health workers by allowing USCIS (the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services).” He said that the Covid-19 had a worse impact.
