A Provision in the Spending Bill Would Expedite the Green Card Process
Biden’s budget package might reuse Green Cards
Biden’s spending bill includes an immigration provision that proposes to issue Green Cards unused since 1992, which would allow eligible foreign nationals to access lawful permanent residency faster.
It is important to explain that the US issues a certain number of Green Cards annually (Fiscal Year – October/September), which also have a per country cap.
If for some reason the annual limit is not reached, then unused Green Cards cannot be issued the following fiscal year. In other words, they are not reusable.
To give a little more context, the provision included in the budget package:
- Would allow the issuance of more than 400,000 unused Green Cards from the last three decades.
- Would allow eligible employment-based visa holders to pay a $5,000 fee to evade the annual cap and also the per-country cap.

Thousands of foreign nationals would benefit
Currently, the USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services), the entity in charge of processing immigration applications in the country, is experiencing a rather alarming backlog of immigration cases.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of Green Card applicants, who meet the requirements to become LPRs (Lawful Permanent Residents), are stranded on a waiting list for years, even decades.
That means that, if Biden’s spending bill is passed by the Senate later this year, then many foreign nationals, mostly employment-based or family-based visa holders, could gain access to Green Cards without having to go through long waiting times and bureaucratic hurdles.
