A new act for immigrant families is introduced in the US Senate aimed at fixing the country’s visa issues. As millions of Indians chase the American dream, it will be highly beneficial for the community if the bill gets passed.
The Reuniting Families Act proposes raising per-country family-based immigration limits, allowing more visas by “recapturing” unused ones from previous years. This will bring some relief for many families torn apart due to endless backlogs, who end up taking illegal means to enter the country in lieu of official routes.

For many decades, Indian families have been left uncertain of their future with backlogs keeping them in Limbo. Even approving an individual’s Green Card application doesn’t mean much when his loved ones are kept apart due to red tape.
