US Proposes Major Overhaul of Green Card Sponsorship System

Hindustan Times · world

The United States is considering significant changes to its employment-based Green Card sponsorship system through modifications to the PERM program. These proposed reforms aim to enhance recruitment criteria for employers and bolster protections for American workers, especially those affected by recent layoffs. The initiative also seeks to ensure stricter adherence to federal non-discrimination regulations. This potential overhaul, the first in over two decades, could substantially alter how foreign professionals, including many Indian nationals, are sponsored for permanent residency.
