To calm H-1B nerves, American employers are sponsoring green cards faster

As the panic around the clampdown on H-1B visas by the Donald Trump administration mounts, US employers are trying to make their non-American talent feel secure. In 2020, four in five employers sponsored green cards for their foreign workers within one year of employment, up from two-thirds in the year prior, according to immigration law firm Envoy Global. In December 2019, an estimated 800,000 foreign nationals working legally in the US were awaiting green cards.
