The US has introduced stricter rules for H-1B and Green Card visas, which may impact Indian professionals and students. According to recent reports, Indian-origin individuals who have moved to the US on green cards or H-1B visas are expressing concerns about the current immigration landscape.
Some Indian professionals are exploring alternative options, such as the EB-5 visa, due to decades-long wait times for green cards. Meanwhile, an anti-H-1B group is urging lawsuits against the hiring of Indian workers. For more information on the new rules and their potential impact, see the linked sources.
The new regulations, set to take effect in August, will allow adjustments of status only in extraordinary cases, potentially affecting Indians. Those planning to move to the US are advised to check the details of the new rules, which may reshape the H-1B visa, student visa, and green card landscape.
