Swaroop Ramaswamy, a Google techie, finally obtained permanent residency in the US after a 9-year struggle, highlighting flaws in the H-1B visa system. He shared his ordeal on social media, stressing the challenges skilled workers face. Ramaswamy's case echoes the plight of over a million Indians in the Green Card backlog, facing wait times of over a decade. The current system, deemed "inhumane" by Ramaswamy, hinders talent retention and family reunification. Congressional action is urged to address the growing backlog and ensure fair immigration policies.
