'Einstein' visa applicants are now facing a 10-year backlog for Green Cards
The EB-1 Green Card category, which provides a fast track route to permanent residency in the US for individuals with exceptional talent or academic qualifications, has experienced a 10-year retrogression for Indian applicants. The retrogression is believed to be due to increased demand, particularly from professionals in India's robust professional sector, as well as applicants from other backlogged categories.
