Indians benefit the most
Indians working on H-1B visas in the US get the most benefit of green cards. Green card is called permanent residence card in America. Through this document, immigrants get the opportunity to live in the US permanently. Most Indian IT professionals go to the US on H-1B work visas.
Indians have suffered the most from the change in its allocation process. Under these, there is a maximum allocation of seven percent of this visa to any country. Delays in the process have left tens of millions of people in line for visas with the US Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services. Thousands of Indian IT professionals are also being deprived of it. This is becoming a matter of concern among Indian-Americans.
Tech companies also suffer
Indian IT professionals get employment in US tech companies through H-1B visas. Tech companies also employ tens of thousands of employees through them. While 9,100 work visas were not used in 2020, this year the number is 83,000.
In view of this, US lawmaker Marianne Miller-Meeks has introduced the Employment Visa Protection Bill, which could allow visas that were unusable in one fiscal year to be used in the next year. Most experts believe that the new work visa policy has so far only hurt the US economy.
