Err, what’s this nonsense about a 70+ year wait time?
In reality, the number of employment-based green cards given out is a bit higher but it is just luck. Total green cards per year for all employment categories combined is 140k. EB 1,2,3 get around 28% each which is max 40k. Then there is per country limit of 7%. So every year at the max, only 2800 green cards can be given to Indians from the total allotment of 140k (this is because per country allocation is flat % instead of per demand basis). The only reason we see a bit higher number of green cards issued is because certain family based green cards and EB1 are not used, and so they are given to remaining employment-based. With the number of people waiting in the EB 2/3 queues, folks starting to use up more and more of EB1, and the new administration wants to eliminate family based immigration, we are reaching a point where that 70+ years will become a reality.
As I posted in another thread, eb1 is a minor issue here. Even if eb1 didn't exist, this backlog of multiple lifetime will exist, as the input is 10x the output and input has no caps and output has.
Is this the second coming of the 13th amendment? If you’re trying to come here from a less populous country, good luck! There’ll be a 10yr waiting list right out of the gate 😊
