Green Card wait for most Indian immigrants is now 179 years

Indian professionals in the US now have to wait 179 years for Green Cards — after the Trump administration put tough limits on how it issues permanently residency.
The current green card backlog has hit 1.2 million people as federal immigration law restricted the number that can be doled out each year to 140,000 — with no more than 7% going to any one country, according to a new report by the National Foundation for American Policy.
This means immigrants from large countries — like India and China — are subject to wait times of decades or more before being granted permanent residency.
According to the data, a Chinese national applying for a green card with EB-2 status — that is, most professional workers with master’s degrees — could be waiting approximately 25 years.
For professionals from India, the estimated wait 179 years, according to the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) — a Virginia-based nonprofit that studies immigration and international trade

Why would Indians need green cards
They come over here on temporary visas and blend into the sea of Indians in places like texas and never leave

Visa Bulletin
In case anyone is interested in looking at wait times. This comes out every month and wait times are based on how many visas were issued the prior month.
Looks like EB2 and some EB5 for India are unauthorized currently.
Note that this is only for preference categories, so things like spouses, parents, and children under 21 of US citizens who are from India are not subject to the wait.
Looks like it is only backed up 5 years, not 25.

I've had indian customers in the past and as a whole, there is not a worse group of people to try and deal with.
They'll cheat you and screw you any way possible whether illegal or not.

There really are just way too many of them. And they do not help the communities they immigrate to. They have a large country with fertile land, oceans, rivers, and mountains. They need to make their own country better instead of just trying to populate the rest of the developed world. We need to get serious about blindly dumping these people into nice places.

America's immigration act of 1965 should be canned and replaced with a strict merit system favoring assets highly likely to be compatible with American culture and values.
That said, Vance's wife is Indian and Hindus are better than Muslims.
