Mumbai: Biden administration has made other efforts to reclaim family-based and work-based green cards that are not used.
A Senate Expenditure Bill, released on Monday, allows diversity, family-based, and work-based green cards that previously originated from expiration (known as ‘visa recapture’).
“These changes will ensure that US citizens can reunite with their families and will help the economy by allowing employers to access the workers needed as the law,” declare the release of sub-commopimia.
However, diving analysis shows that while this can help those who are in a family-based green card backlog, it can stem their interests in work-based green card backlogs.
As explained by the previous ToI, because the pandemic, a very low number of family-based green cards was approved in the 2020 fiscal year (the year ended September 30, 2020), the numbers that were not used rolled into the work-based category in fiscal 2021.
This caused the number The work-based green card number rose to 2,26,000 – because the number of roll-over did not face strictures from a close 7% per-country it offered a lot of hope to develop a green card to get a green card.
Also read the green card that the Institute has been linked very long – at 84 years old! US representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks has introduced the ‘work conservation of work visas’.
This household, the processing of delays in USCIS causes expiration (will be a waste) of almost 83,000 work-based green cards on October 1, 2021.
This is because no roll-over is further permitted under the existing regulations.
However, the calculation mechanism to reclaim the expenditure bill has come for criticism, so far related to work-based green cards.
Reclaim a family-based green card, will take an additional spill into a work-based green card category – which will significantly help the Diaspora India backlog, which has a waiting time of almost 80 years.
David Bier, a research partner at the Cato Institute has tweeted, “This means that the provisions canceled the increase in fiscal year 2022 and did not reclaim the lost green cards lost for fiscal 2021.
So rather than getting 80,000 back, they lost 1.50,000 ..
.
“Recently, the Senate bill and home bills were introduced also trying to ensure that green cards will not expire.
