India ranks second, with 127,000 immigrants receiving green cards. Indian immigration has surged due to the country\u2019s large pool of skilled professionals, particularly in the tech and healthcare sectors, seeking better job prospects and higher education opportunities in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Indian Immigration Rises<\/h2>\n

In 2020, the number of new permanent residents from India fell to a 10-year low of 46,363, possibly due to stricter COVID-19 travel restrictions. However, immigration has increased since then, climbing to 93,450 in 2021 and 127,012 in 2022.<\/p>\n

Together, immigrants from Mexico and India accounted for 265,784 green cards, making up 26% of the total issued in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
