Congressman Josh Gottheimer renewed his call to end per-country caps on employment-based green cards. He cited a projected 179-year wait for Indian green card applicants, based on an August analysis by the National Foundation for American Policy. Earlier, David J. Bier of the Cato Institute estimated that Indians made up 63% of a 1.8 million-case backlog across all employment-based categories in 2023.
