WASHINGTON: Indians who have been vying for US green cards for the past several years are likely to get green cards in the near future. The government is considering issuing green cards to people whose applications for employment-based green cards are stuck in the old backlog by paying a supplementary fee ranging from 100 100 to 5 5,000.

The process of introducing the bill in the US Congress has also gained momentum. If the bill passes both houses of Congress and becomes law, thousands of foreigners and Indians with employment-based work permits could get green cards. Most IT professionals in the United States apply for employment-based work permits and then apply for a green card.

But the number of people applying for a green card in this category has increased to such an extent that the backlog of applications has become very large, so the government is moving towards issuing a green card by charging a supplementary fee. A green card is a document that allows any foreigner to stay in the United States permanently.

According to a government document released by the Judiciary Committee of the US House of Representatives, those who have applied for a green card in the last two years or so can be issued a green card with a supplementary fee of up to 5,000. The supplementary fee for the EB-5 (Colonial Investor) category, however, is set at 50,000 50,000.

Family-based immigrants sponsored by a U.S. citizen who have applied for a green card two years or earlier will have to pay a supplementary fee of 25 2,500, while applicants whose priority date is not within the two-year time limit but are required to be in the U.S. Supplementary fee will have to be paid.

According to a report on CBS News, if the proposal takes the form of a law, people who entered the United States as children, foreigners who came to work on farms, and those who came as essential employees in the Corona epidemic will also be able to apply for a green card.

Of course, before the proposal becomes law, it must be passed by the Judiciary Committee, then by a majority in both the House of Representatives and later in the Senate, i.e. the US Congress (Parliament), and finally when it is signed by the President. Of course, as the Biden government tends to legislate the proposal, all the circumstances that make it a law are looking bright.
