The Relief Act aimed to address the backlog of immigrants waiting for green cards, particularly impacting individuals from India and China. It sought to abolish the country-based quota system, increasing the total number of green cards for employment-based categories. Senator Richard Durbin introduced it, with provisions to revise visa caps and eliminate country-based limitations. The Eagle Act, introduced by Zoe Lofgren, aimed to prioritize immigrant petitions based on application dates rather than nationality, eliminating birth country reservations.
