The move will impact many Indians working in the US
Donald Trump last spring halted the issuance of green cards
San Diego: In a big relief to Indians working in the United States, President Joe Biden on Wednesday lifted a ban on green cards issued by his predecessor Donald Trump during the pandemic.
The move will impact many Indians, particularly those working in the IT sector, who go to the US on H-1B visa and continue their employment for several years.
Former President Donald Trump last spring halted the issuance of green cards until the end of 2020 in the name of protecting the coronavirus-wracked job market — a reason that Trump gave to achieve many of the cuts to legal immigration that had eluded him before the pandemic.
