She described how she went in "our little makeshift office" and then when the call started Biden immediately asked her to join the ticket.

Eventually Jill Biden and Emhoff joined the call with Biden and Harris.

Issuing new H-1B visas to more Indians would add to this agonising painful wait for green cards, Immigration Voice said in a statement.
