US immigration Bill to benefit Indian techies

Washington, February 19

A US Citizenship Act of 2021 proposing a pathway to citizenship to 11 million undocumented workers, elimination of per country quota for employment-based green cards and work authorisation for dependents of H-1B foreign workers, was introduced in the Congress.

After being passed, the Bill would bring citizenship to millions of foreign nationals, including undocumented and those who came to the country legally.

The legislation would benefit hundreds and thousands of Indian IT professionals and their families.
