About SIIA
SIIA, or Skilled Immigrants in America, is a community focused on raising awareness of the employment-based green card backlog and advocating for fair, practical policy solutions.
Who We Are
SIIA represents highly skilled immigrants and their families who are navigating long wait times within the U.S. legal immigration system. Members come from diverse professional backgrounds and contribute across industries, research, healthcare, and technology.
What We Focus On
The organization highlights how structural issues in the immigration system—particularly per-country limits—create unequal outcomes for applicants based on where they were born.
Why This Matters
For many families, the backlog is not just a policy issue. It affects long-term stability, career mobility, and the ability to plan for the future.

This website provides a clear, public-facing explanation of: - the employment-based green card backlog - its impact on families and the economy - policy approaches that aim to address it
