Indian-origin couple leaves US after 15 years over green card delays

An Indian-origin couple has left the United States after living there for 15 years, citing delays in obtaining green cards as the primary reason for their departure.

The couple, who had been residing in the U.S. for over a decade, faced extended waiting periods for permanent residency, which ultimately led to their decision to relocate.

Their case highlights the ongoing challenges faced by many Indian nationals in the U.S. immigration system, where backlogs for employment-based green cards can stretch for years.

The couple's departure underscores the impact of immigration policy on skilled workers and their families, who often face uncertainty despite long-term residence and contributions to the U.S. economy.
