Watch: Indians protest in Washington DC against suspension of H-1B visas

A group of Indians on H1B visa held a rally in Washington DC on Wednesday morning, demanding immigration reforms to benefit those in the country legally.

Indian immigrants, including women and children, organized an Equality Rally with the key goal of getting Senator Dick Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois, and also the lone senator who has stalled the passing of a bill that would make receiving employment-based green cards a first come first serve system.

Another key demand of the group was that the green card backlog must be cleared as opposed to the current wait time, which could run into decades for employment-based green cards for Indians.
