On the 10th of July 2019, Wednesday, a bill titled US Fairness of High Skilled Workers Act, 2019 was passed in the US House of Representatives. As per this bill, the cap for issuing Green Cards or the cap for applications being accepted every year for Permanent Residents has been removed for Skilled Professionals. For the rest of the Green Cards being applied under EB5 (Investor Visa) and related categories, the cap has been extended to 15 percent from 7 percent.
This bill is now waiting to be passed and put in place in the Senate. Most applications received are from India, China, and the Philippines. This bill has been proposed, as said by Congressman John Curtis, as a drive, to ensure serious merit-based legal immigration.
This will be implemented from the FY 2020 and it would be on a first come first serve basis. Another important point to be noted here is that these regulations have especially been passed to encourage people who have originated from India and China.
