US Immigration Reorganization—How Beneficial For Indian Migrants!

When lately the current US President used executive action, to propel a highly probable immigration improvement plan, several people were allegedly elated across numerous areas in the US housing students and trained manpower from India. But, a thorough scrutiny of the details needs to be done, prior to one begins to celebrate and paints the town red, claim some observers.

Predictably, the maximum gains from the US immigration reorganizations as far as Indians are involved duly address the exceedingly trained employees, several of them with H1B & L1 Work Permits, and cooling their heels in lengthy Green Card lines.

Actually, 1000s of qualified Indians are currently present in the US whose applications (employment-based 2 & 3 classes) for Green Cards were submitted numerous years ago, and they have become subject to yearly number limits and nation-wise limits.

For the students from India with the F1 Permits who are graduating from American educational establishments of higher education in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) categories there’s hardly any ground to exult and feel happy about, add these observers .

The optional practical training (OPT) time the time when they can conclude their courses, and hunt for a job is being lengthened to 36 months or three years, from 24 months or two years. The plan initiative is expected to further facilitate education as a corridor, for the object of drawing & retaining prospective trained visitors to the US.

But, certain specific steps are also expected to be taken by the concerned US organization, with a view to bring educational organizations, students and their companies/job-providers under more watch to duly stop and control the OPT facility exploitation.

Even as the description of STEM classes could be enlarged to comprise more schemes, and the duration extended, the same will arrive with stricter procedure control over students, establishments and firms/job–providers. Allegedly, previous reports from the government had raised widespread fears about the probable abuse of the OPT scheme, which are likely to be done away with.

Good News for Some

However, it’s not only trained guests from India who will gain. As per a Manhattan-based immigration lawyer, an impressive figure of Indians who stay on the margins of the society in America will be one of the most notable gainers. Several Indians have an illegal position in the nation and they will be at an advantage.

He added that it is essential that they have been present in the country, without any gap, prior to January 1, 2010, and they also must be the parents of either American lawful permanent residents or citizens, from any age group. A different group of Indians, which will gain, is those who arrived in the US before they turned 16 years old, prior to January 1, 2010.
