A group of Indian American IT-professionals have asked US Senators to support a key immigration-reform legislation, which if passed would drastically reduce the 'Green Card' waiting period for highly-skilled workers from countries like India and China.
"This as an important step in the effort to reform immigration policy in response to the changing global situation," said the Silicon Valley-based Global Indian Technology Professionals Association in a statement on Monday.
Currently pending the Congress, Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act (HR 3012) proposes to eliminate the per nation cap on employment-based visas in favour of a more fair, 'first come, first serve' system, where all green-card applicants meeting the requirements will have the same waiting period.
"The bill will also reduce the uncertainty faced by organisations in retaining experienced resources critical to support the business," said Khanderao Kand of GITPRO.
GITPRO asked US Senators to support the legislation in the Congress.
