Indians held rallies across America on Monday. This is something that hasn't happened before!
Indian-Americans, who migrated to US on H-1B Visas, are badly hit by the existing Immigration Laws imposing a 7 percent per-country quota on allotment of green cards/permanent residency. Indian Immigrants who applied for Green Card need to wait for decades to fulfill their dream because of this system. So, Indian Professionals conducted rallies across US demanding the termination of per-country limit on Green Card.
Indians demanded the Congress, Senate and White House to address the green card backlog impacting lack of highly-skilled Immigrants. 'The law brought by former American President Lyndon Johnson can't be applied in the present times,' they say.
On an average, US allocates 50,000 green cards through lottery for people from various countries who hadn't got the opportunity to visit US through merit-based Employment Visas.
