2019年仅7990名印度员工获批美国绿卡，印度人等待时间为49年，中国人6年

Only 7,990 Indian employees got green card in fiscal 2019

2019财年，仅7990名印度雇员获得绿卡

MUMBAI: Only 7,990 skilled Indian employees of US companies got a green card during fiscal 2019. This was merely 10% of the total green cards issued to EB2 and EB3 applicants. In general, those having an advanced degree qualify for the EB2 category, whereas EB3 is for skilled workers and professionals.

孟买：在2019财年，仅7990名受雇于美国公司的印度员工获得了绿卡，仅仅占发放给EB2和EB3申请人的绿卡总数的10%。一般来说，拥有高等学位的人符合EB2类别，而EB3是针对技术工和专业人员的。

TOI’s analysis shows that in the previous fiscal, the scenario was slightly better as, at the end of September 30, 2018, the number of skilled Indian employees to have obtained green card under these two categories aggregated to 10,208 (nearly 13% of the total). The future trend appears bleak, unless the per-country cap is lifted.

《印度时报》的分析显示，在上一财年，情况略好一些，截至2018年9月30日，获得这两类绿卡的印度技工总数为10208人(占总数的近13%)。除非取消每个国家的限额，否则未来的趋势看起来是暗淡的。

Annually, the US sets aside only 1.40 lakh green cards for employment-based applicants and there is a 7% per-country cap, though undistributed green cards can be added to this percentage on a firstcome, first-served basis. Given the heavy influx of Indians workers in the US, this restrictive policy results in a decades-long waiting period.

美国每年只为职业移民类别申请人发放14万张绿卡，每个国家的配额上限为7%，不过未发放的绿卡可以按照先到先得的原则给以发放。鉴于大量印度工人涌入美国，这一限制性政策导致了长达数十年的等候期。

Cato Institute, an American libertarian thinktank, reports, “The only reason that Indians received 10% of the total green cards in these categories (in fiscal 2019) is because demand from the rest of the world was low enough to leave some unused. But demand from the rest of the world is increasing, which will further shrink the numbers for Indians.”

美国智库卡托研究所报告称，“印度人在这些类别(2019财年)中获得10%绿卡的唯一原因是，其他国家的需求低，导致一些名额未使用。然而随着其他地区的需求正在增加，这将进一步减少印度人的配额数量。”

According to the Cato Institute, as of May 2018, about 5.86 lakh workers and their families (of which 5.48 lakh are Indians) were waiting for EB2 and EB3 category of green cards. For Indians the wait time was projected to be 49 years, for just six years.

根据卡托研究所的数据，截至2018年5月，约有58.6万名雇员和他们的家人(其中54.8万是印度人)正在等待获得EB2和EB3类别的绿卡。印度申请人的等待时间预计为49年，而申请人只需等待6年。

Dont blame the reservation system (which does have problems) when the government in charge is incapable of running the country, boosting the economy, or creating jobs. All they are good at is spreading communal hatred, violence and corruption. Its time to vote these jokers out and make India like it was a decade ago, a rising power, getting prosperous and retaining talent by growing industries and creating jobs

印度政府管理不好这个国家，没有把经济建设抓好，没有创造足够多的就业，大家就不要怪预留制了(虽然这个制度确实存在问题)。

印度政客所擅长的是传播仇恨、煽动暴力、贪污腐败。是时候把这些小丑赶下台了，让印度像十年前那样高速发展，成为一个崛起的大国，变得繁荣昌盛，通过发展工业和创造就业来留住人才

If the per country cap is removed, people from other countries suddenly find themselves waiting for 10-15 years for a green card. The only solution is to increase the number of cards.

如果取消每个国家的配额上限，那其他国家的人会突然发现他们要等上10到15年才能拿到绿卡。唯一的解决办法是增加每年发放的绿卡数量。

There are so many educated Indians who still believe that the Earth is flat, Apollo 11 landing was fake, 911 did not happen and these are the same fools who think the Vedas contain all biology, technology, virology and bacteriology info, not to mention computer software codes. But they cannot read or understand Sanskrit.

有那么多受过教育的印度人仍然相信地球是平的，仍然相信阿波罗11号登月是假的，911事件没有发生，这些人认为吠陀经包含了所有生物、技术、病毒学和细菌学信息，还有计算机软件代码。但是他们对梵文一窍不通。
