Backlogged Indians to benefit from US budget reconciliation bill if passed October 29, 2021 at 11:22PM

On cards, in the US budget reconciliation bill (or the draft Build Back Better Act) that was released recently, is a proposal for recapturing unused family and employment-based green card numbers that were unused from 1992 through 2021. If this proposal does go through, it will help thousands of backlogged skilled Indians, who have a waiting period of 84 years to get an employment-based green card, as per a study by Cato Institute.
