WASHINGTON: Several Indian-American IT professionals have held two rallies in the US, demanding an end to the long and massive green card backlog by eliminating per-country limit quota.

华盛顿：几名印度裔美国IT专业人士在美国举行了两次集会，要求取消每个国家的申请配额，结束大量的绿卡申请积案。

The rallies were organised over the weekend in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Participants argued that per country quota on issuing of Green Cards per annum was the main reason for the backlog.

周末，集会在新泽西州和宾夕法尼亚州举行。与会者认为，每年绿卡的配额是积案的主要原因。

They displayed posters with 'Remove Per Country Limits for employment based Green cards', '300,000 waiting for 90 years' and 'What did I do wrong'.

他们展示的海报上写着“取消工作绿卡配额”、“30万人等待90年”、“我做错了什么”。

"It's high time the congress, senate and white house administration works on this issue and solves the problem of High Skilled immigrants," GCReforms, organisers of the rallies said in a statement.

集会组织者在一份声明中表示，“现在是国会、参议院和白宫在这个问题上进行努力，解决高技能移民问题的时候了。”

Having a green card allows a person to live and work permanently in the US.

一个人如果拥有绿卡就可以在美国永久居住和工作。

Indian-Americans, most of whom are highly skilled and come to the US mainly on H-1B work visas are the worst sufferers of the current immigration system which imposes a seven per cent per country quota on allotment of green cards or permanent legal residency.

大多数印度裔美国人是高技能人才，主要是通过申请H-1B工作签证来美国的。他们是目前移民政策最大的受害者，每天大约只有7%的人能够顺利获得绿卡或永居身份。

As a result, the current wait period for Indian skilled immigrants for green card can be as long as 70 years.

因此，印度技术移民的绿卡等待期最长可达70年。

I dont understand their issue. When one goes go work on an HI-B visa it is by intent, only temporary. Why should these people assume that it is their god given right to gain permanent residence and eventually citizenship in the US. How would we feel is a million bangladeshis descended on us in a similar way!

一个人申请H1-B工作签证时，就应该知道签证是短期签证。为什么这些人会认为上帝赋予了他们在美国居住并最终成为美国公民的权利。如果一百万孟加拉人来印度要绿卡，我们怎么想。。

Kiyunbe. US govt tera baap ke he kya ?? They won''t listen to you period. India govt also will not help you..Why the hell you had gone there in the first place? If for work purpose why did not you return once work is over or visa is over ? Why stayed and applied GC ?? It is because of your own benefit..Listen up guys you getting GC does not help anybody except you. Neither India nor US. So you guys are basically unwanted everywhere.

美国政府？他们不会听你们的。印度政府也不会帮助你们的。一开始你为什么就去那里？如果是为了工作目的，为什么签证到期不回国？为什么要待在哪里，申请绿卡？听着伙计们，你拿到绿卡后，只有你一个人受益，对其他人一点帮助都没有。无论是印度还是美国。所以你们到哪儿都不受欢迎。
