WASHINGTON: About one green-based work card is the risk of wasted in less than two months, causing hatred among Indian Ti professionals who are waiting for the legal permanent residency now decades.
The green card, which is officially known as a permanent resident card, is a document incurred for immigrants as evidence that the carrier has been given privileges to stay permanently in the US.
This year’s quota for job-based immigrants is 261,500, much higher than 140,000 commonly, Professional Sandeep Pawar told PTI.
“Unfortunately, under the law, if this visa is not issued on September 30, they disappear forever,” he said.
The current processing rate by citizenship and US immigration services or USCIS shows that they will waste more than 100,000 green cards, a fact that was recently confirmed by the State Officer Department responsible for determining the use of visas, he said.
If USCIS or Biden administration does not take any steps, an additional 100,000 green cards available this year will be wasted in vain, the pawar is rued.
The White House does not comment on the question filed in this matter.
Meanwhile, a group of 125 Indian and Chinese citizens who live in the US filed a lawsuit to prevent the administration of wasting green cards.
“There are hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants employed in the US who will benefit from this green card.
Many of them have waited a decade or more to adjust to the status of permanent residents but cannot do so because of the lack of visa numbers available,” he said.
“But this year, if USCIS works its work efficiently and soon, these immigrants finally have the opportunity to become a permanent resident, something that should take a few decades,” said Pawar, who has struggled for Indian professional rights waiting for a few decades to Green card.
“Most potential beneficiaries, such as me, come from India, a country that is the most backlog because it is inherently racist and discriminatory per country embedded in INA.
Many have partners, most women, who cannot work until they become residents Stay, “said Pawar.
“Many have children who will be aged and forced to deport themselves even though this is the only country they know.
The loss is very large and cannot be repaired if this green card is not used,” he said.
The impact of the Executive Director of Neil Makhija, who met President Joe Biden as part of the delegation, said he urged him to reform the law of immigration by eliminating the closing and quota of green cards and covering 200,000 children’s long-term visa holders in an effort to protect all dreamers.
In the OP-Ed in Washington Post, David J Bier, a research partner at the Cato Institute, alleged that Biden administration was responsible for this green card waste.
Last week, the US government announced that it had processed green card applications at slow speed so that it would come at least 100,000 short slots using the annual limit.
“Without a drastic revision in the glacial processing aged, President Biden will lead one of the biggest cuts for legal immigration in US history – and almost no one talks about it,” he said.
