A bill was introduced in the US Congress to abolish the green card system by country




(PTI) Washington, Ta. 3
A landmark bill was introduced in the US Congress to amend the greencard system. Congressmen Zoe Lofgreen and John Curtis introduced the bill in the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill advocates the abolition of the country-wise greencard system.
The United States currently issues green cards to seven percent of its citizens. Seven percent of citizens of each country living in the United States and awaiting a permanent license receive a green card based on seniority. Because of this, citizens of many countries like India and China have been waiting for a green card for three decades. With only seven per cent being allowed a green card, other citizens' turn will come in the coming years.
To address this situation, the United States is now offering a green card by abolishing the KETA system. A historic bill has been introduced for this during Biden's reign. Equal Access to Green Cards for Legal Employment Act-2021 has been introduced. If the bill passes in Parliament, the decades-long wait of a number of Indian nationals living in the US will come to an end. The chances of him getting a green card in the next two-three years will be bright.
Another provision in the bill is that the visa limit for the family is seven per cent. It is recommended to increase it to 15%. That is, seven percent of all foreign nationals living in the United States were allowed to work in the United States. It is proposed to increase that number to 12. This new provision will make it easier for a family member of IT experts to reach the United States.
While introducing the bill, the Congressman said that more than 150 citizens in the country are waiting for a permanent resident card. It is time to give them a green card. It is imperative that their 40-year-old application be disposed of.
Joe Biden promised to ease visa policy in the run-up to the election, in the face of former President Donald Trump's tough visa policy. The bill is part of that.
