In Short

An Indian techie got permanent residency after a 9-year wait

Thousands of Indian engineers and researchers working in the US without Green Cards

Over 1.2 million Indians waiting for Green Card and backlog will reach 2.1 million by 2030

An Indian-origin techie took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his harrowing experience of obtaining a Green Card after living in the US for over nine years. He highlighted the drawbacks of the H-1B visa system, describing it as "incredibly restrictive". The Indian techie's case is among hundreds of thousands of highly skilled professionals from India who are facing extremely long wait times, potentially decades, to gain permanent residency in the United States.

 

The techie, who works with an internet giant, explained his Green Card ordeal in a long chain of posts after getting permanent residency status after a wait of 3,505 days.

address this, but it has remained a pipe dream. If America hopes to continue attracting the best talent in the world, it should first take a good look at how it treats the talent it already has," the Indian-origin techie wrote on X.

 

When the Indian techie broke the news that he got the green card, many X users asked him how he obtained permanent residency in just nine years, considering there is typically a decade-long wait.

 

"People have been asking me how I got it in 9 years if the wait is decades long. I applied under the EB1 category, which is a little bit faster. But that's beside the point. It's inhumane to keep people in a state of limbo for decades regardless of visa category," he said.

 

The right wing also trolled "asking why he left India".

 

"So many right-wing troll accounts asking why I left India. I left India for better education and employment opportunities. I love what I do, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat," wrote Indian techie on X.
