Fear Among Indian Immigrants in the U.S.: Thousands of Indians in the U.S. are living in fear due to former President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Many worry they may have to leave the country voluntarily. The new rules particularly affect Indian dependents under 21, who might face difficulties staying in the U.S.

H-4 Visa Concerns: Previously, children of H-1B visa holders were granted a grace period even after turning 21, allowing them to apply for other visa options. However, under the new policies, this grace period might be reduced or removed entirely. This uncertainty has led many affected individuals to consider moving to countries like Canada or the UK, which have more lenient immigration policies.

Green Card Challenges: Employment-based visa holders applying for green cards face long waiting periods, especially for Indian nationals due to annual country limits. With USCIS announcing the H-1B visa registration period for the 2026 fiscal year from March 7 to March 24, concerns over immigration policies remain high among Indians in the U.S.
