Senator Roger Marshall Advocates Removing Country Caps on Indian Green Card Backlog
Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall has criticized the US per-country Green Card limit, calling it unjust for Indian immigrants facing a backlog projected to last up to 70 years. The current cap restricts any country to 7% of family-sponsored and employment-based Green Cards annually, disproportionately affecting India due to high demand. Marshall pledged to advocate for removing these limits, highlighting the benefits of strong US-India relations. The backlog affects over 700,000 Indians, with no new EB-2 visas available until the next fiscal year starting October 2026.
