No green cards for the parents of adult U.S. citizens-(Indian parents be aware)

 The RAISE Act seeks to halve this 1 million by eliminating many current categories for family-sponsored immigration. Currently, U.S. citizens can sponsor spouses, minor children, and parents without numerical limitations.

the RAISE Act would end green cards for the parents of adult U.S. citizens—about 133,000 became LPRs in fiscal 2015—it would allow them to come in as temporary immigrants. But U.S. sponsors would first have to demonstrate the parents have health-care coverage and accept full responsibility for their economic support. Parents would be barred from any public benefit, even provided by a state or local government (a provision that could be expected to face legal challenge over whether the federal government can dictate state or local policy in this fashion).

Under the bill, those waiting in sometimes decades-long lines for family sponsorship through capped categories would lose their chance for a green card unless they could win one of the limited visas available under the points system.

Ee DB lo 99% mandiki ochina nashtam em ledu le indulo, parents ki GC ochi vallikadiki elano raru edo oka visit ki thappa. 

So wouldn't make a big difference to the members here, for the most part.
