On Tuesday, Democratic representatives of Zoe Lofgren and Republic of John Curtis, introduced equal access to green cards for legal work laws in 2021, which, according to their statements, will “benefit the US economy by allowing American entrepreneurs to focus on recruitment.

The bill will be profitable for Indian job seekers who currently rely on temporary visas or waiting for green cards to work in the US.
What does Eagle Act say about the limit per country?
Bipartisan’s actions seek to remove the seven percent limit per country on a work-based immigrant visa and increase the limit per country in a family sponsored visa of seven percent to 15 percent. It provides a nine-year period for the elimination of this limit.
The seven percent limit was introduced in the mid-20th century, which had led the countries with a relatively small population to be allocated the same number of visas as the country that was relatively large, expressed a press release by representatives.
“Someone from a large population country with extraordinary qualifications that can contribute great to our economy and create jobs waiting behind someone with lower qualifications than smaller countries,” the next statement sounded, adding that the action tried hard to ’emphasize place of birth’.
How does it help India?
The Cato Think-Tank Institute has reported on March 2020 that 75 percent of backlogs for work-based visas consist of Indians.
“Indian workers who are connected back to face waiting nine decades that are impossible if they can all stay in the line,” said the report. “More than 200,000 petitions submitted for Indians can expire as a result of workers who die from old age before they receive a green card.”
With the laws of the eagle, the close per country will be deleted, which can accelerate the petition for those who apply for a job-based green card.
However, since the number of the highest applicants came from India and China, Eagle Act also tried to order a visa for the ‘lower entry state’ for nine fiscal years (TA).
While 30 percent of work-based visas will be reserved on FY1, this will be reduced to five percent in FY 7, 8 and 9.
The bill also ensures that “no country can receive more than 25 percent of visas that are ordered and no country can receive more than 85 percent of the selfless visa,” in the year of fiscal stains.

What about the precursor to Act Eagle?
Similar justice for immigrant laws roamed (HR1044) was ratified by the House of Representatives in July 2019 with a margin of 365 to 65 votes. A total of 224 Democrats and 140 Republicans chose for the sake of the bill.
The bill is trying to implement similar provisions that will remove seven percent hats in immigrant visas supported by employees per country.
Another version of the bill (S386) was passed by the Senate in the 116th Session of Congress. Some sponsors along the bill covered now Vice President Kamala Harris and Republic of Mitt Romney.
However, according to the association of American immigration lawyers, the law failed because “the difference between the two versions was not reconciled before the end of the session,” which means that the bill must be introduced again.
According to the Washington Street Journal, Senator Rick Scott has included two steps not included in the Bill version. This includes “new hats for the next decade on the total number of immigrants on the H-1B visa that can accept
