Rapid action on the Green Card will benefit Indians

If approved by the US president, the recommendation of a White House Commission to issue an employment authorization card and other essential travel documents during the preliminary phase of the Green Card application processing system would provide significant relief to tens of thousands of foreign professionals, the vast majority of whom are Indian nationals.

The White House Commission for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Affairs granted approval to a recommendation regarding this matter on Thursday. A Green Card, formally referred to as a Permanent Resident Card, is a legally binding document that serves as proof that the bearer has been authorized permanent residency in the United States. It is issued to emigrants. The Green Card application procedure consists of several phases, the first of which is employers submitting I-140 applications.

The I-485 adjustment of status is the subsequent crucial step. Currently, they obtain their Employment Authorization Card (EAD) and travel documents Advance Parole at this time. This permits them to work for any employer while their Green Card application is being processed, according to Ajay Jain Bhutoria, an Indian American community leader who proposed the resolution at the most recent AANHPI meeting this week.
