because I feel like foreign relations between India and the US have never beeen better
- mrkstu 2y agoThis is presumably about the per-country limits on H1Bs- i.e. most countries aren't hitting their quota, so if you apply for one as a citizen of most countries, the wait is comparatively minimal.
- gunian 2y agoahhh I misunderstood I thought there was just one global pool for H1B did not realize there were per country limits
- rednafi 2y agoI saw it first hand. My Indian colleagues mentioned that their queue to transition from H1B to green card is impossibly long. It’s just how the numbers work. There are just too many Indians applicants and not enough seats.
- redditor98654 2y agoWhat do you mean? My green card application has been pending for 9 years. Based on current projections I won’t get it in less than 100 years or so. Indian. This is a well known fact.
- gunian 2y agomy bad I misread I thought this was for the H1B which I read had a fixed quota hope all goes well with your application does this mean if you change your citizenship to a low population country by paying 100k and then applying it would speed up the process? or does USCIS have some law that prevents that

- wenc 2y agoIt's not about foreign relations but how long the queue is. The current date for India (Employment-based green cards) is most backlogged, followed by China, Mexico, Philippines, and Others (Others being its own category). https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-bulletin/2025/visa-bulletin-for-january-2025.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/v...
