Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Green Card Reformation Hundreds of thousands of people immigrate to the U.S. yearly seeking a green card
The
immigration is done basically because of the employment opportunities available within the country; sometimes the reason to immigrate can be associated to family ties in the country. However, the systems that make the process of getting a green card is complex. There are regular changes in immigration procedures by different government agencies. It is difficult to fully understand the complex immigration laws, regulations and procedures..
Some steps taken toward reforming today’s immigration process in the U.S. A year ago, president Obama announced executive actions that were meant to deferred removal/deportation of those illegally in the U.S. and issue work authorization to these individuals. These executive orders are specifically designed to ease the predicament that is faced by the country’s undocuments immigrants. Additionally, there have been a variety of well-publicized initiatives—such as Deferred Action programs (DACA and DAPA)—which have hit a roadblock due to challenges by the court system. The U.S. Supreme Court is currently reviewing the DAPA and DACA extensions that President Obama initiated. There are few initiatives that have, however, changed the immigration process for the better. One key change is brought after the PEP program was introduced. The PEP program has reformed the priorities for taking an enforcement action and has changed the H-1B employment visa’s extension process; the H-1B employment visa is given to a worker’s spouse. Other less-publicized initiatives are still afoot toward reforming the country’s immigration process. One of such key initiatives is the pending labor certification system. This particular system has been operational since circa 2005; however, it has failed to stay abreast of the labor market demands that characterize the 21st century.
