Green Card Pressure Mounting On Trump What Will He Do?
Now the Trump administration is doing something unexpected as they have restricted several companies, including Microsoft, TCS, Infosys and others from filing for green cards.
The United States administration has been going particularly hard against the immigration population for the last few months. This has no extended to the green card program, which would grant permanent residency to international population.
Now the Trump administration is doing something unexpected as they have restricted several companies, including Microsoft, TCS, Infosys and others from filing for green cards.
At first, there was a lot of positive support for this decision by the Trump administration from the domestic American population as they felt the foreign workforce would be reduced drastically.
But things are starting to change rather quickly, as it is being established that 63 lawmakers in the United States have now started to push for expedited processing of green card. They are of the opinion that the skilled green card population is the backbone of American technology and healthcare sector, and that cannot be changed.
Apparently, these law makers have started to mount pressure on to expedite the processing of these green cards, effective immediately. This could be the new process that could trouble the United States president with regard to his policy making.
But things are not going to be straightforward, either as it is reported that the waiting period for the United States Green card is at 179 years for the Indian population.
US Congressman Josh Gottheimer has renewed his call to end per-country caps on employment-based green cards, as the latest US visa bulletin shows Indian professionals with advanced degrees are only now reaching applications filed nearly 13 years ago.
