New US Bill Proposes Easier Green Card Path for Indian H-1B Visa Holders

A new bill introduced in the US Congress aims to ease the Green Card process for Indian H-1B visa holders. The proposed legislation, titled the 'Renewing Immigration Provisions of the Immigration Act of 1929,' would allow immigrants who have lived in the United States for at least seven years to apply for lawful permanent resident status. The bill is seen as a significant step for Indian professionals, who make up a large portion of H-1B visa holders and often face long waits for Green Cards due to per-country caps. Under the current system, Indian nationals can face decades-long backlogs. The new bill does not eliminate per-country caps but offers an alternative pathway based on continuous residency. If passed, it could benefit thousands of Indian workers and their families, reducing uncertainty about their long-term status in the US. The bill's prospects in Congress remain unclear, but it has drawn attention from immigration advocacy groups and Indian-American organizations. Lawmakers sponsoring the bill argue it will help retain skilled workers who contribute to the US economy. Critics may raise concerns about immigration levels. The proposal adds to ongoing debates over US immigration reform, particularly regarding high-skilled visas.
