H.R. 747

H.R. 747, also known as the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2021, aims to change how the United States allocates employment-based green cards. It proposes to eliminate country-specific limits, which currently restrict the number of green cards issued to individuals from countries with high immigrant visa demand, such as India and China. By doing so, it seeks to reduce long wait times for applicants from these countries and create a more equitable system. The bill also increases overall visas available for skilled workers, promoting talent mobility and addressing workforce needs in the U.S.
