Now, Let’s get into the video.
The EAGLE Act will phase out the 7% per-country limit on employment-based immigrant visas and raise the 7% per-country limit on family-sponsored visas to 15%. This will allow American employers to focus on hiring immigrants based on merit, not birthplace.
The Bill was cleared by the US House Judiciary Committee in April.
Currently, only 1.4 lakh employment-based green cards can be issued each year – with a 7% cap on every country. If applicants from one country overshoots the 7% allotment, a backlog forms, and the excess approved petitions are not considered until a visa becomes available and their petition falls within the initial 7% per-country cap.
