The green card infinite extension is just a bug in the system. H1B was very much supposed to be a temporary program while the company can train an American. It's almost entirely misuse bar a few PhD's.
- nrmitchi 5y agoSo your problem is with allowing companies to sponsor Permanent Residency applications at all?
- kfprt 5y agoI'm not an immigration lawyer but I assume sponsoring a permanent resident would be covered under a different program with different rules. Trying to shoehorn this into H1B is very much the wrong program and abuse. The intent of the program was that the green card application would have been accepted or rejected within a reasonable time frame and not exist as a way to extend the temporary H1B indefinitely.
- nrmitchi 5y agoLiterally 0 people who are in limbo on an extended H1B would object to green card applications being accepted or rejected within a reasonable time frame.
