US President Donald Trump has endorsed a legislation that would drastically cut the number of legal immigrants allowed into the country and implement "merit-based" visa scheme which could benefit highly-educated and technology professionals from countries like India. The Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act would scrap the current lottery system to get into the US and instead institute a points-based system for earning a Green Card.
Factors that would be taken into account include English language skills, education, high-paying job offers and age. If passed by the Congress and signed into law, the legislation could benefit highly-educated people and technology professionals from nations like India.
