A new bipartisan bill, the Dignity Act of 2025, could change the game for those stuck in the long US green card backlog, now over 11 million cases. The proposal lets applicants who have been waiting more than 10 years pay a $20,000 fee for faster processing. It also aims to raise yearly green card limits and improve visa rules, helping family-based and employment-based immigrants alike.
Dreamers and skilled workers may benefit, while people with criminal records won’t qualify. The bill also supports border security and plans to create a new immigration coordinator office to streamline visa processing. If passed, this could be a major step to reduce wait times and ease the visa bottleneck in the US. What do you think would you pay for faster green card processing?
