The US has introduced stricter rules for H-1B visas and Green Cards, which may affect Indian nationals. According to recent reports, Indian professionals are exploring alternative options, such as EB-5 visas, due to decades-long wait times for Green Cards.
The new rules, set to take effect in August, will allow adjustments of status only in extraordinary cases. For more information on the changes and how they may impact Indian students and professionals, see the linked sources.
Reports also indicate that there is a growing debate over foreign skilled workers and H-1B visa fraud, with some groups urging lawsuits against the hiring of Indians. For details on the proposed rules and their potential impact, visit the sources listed.
