United States president of Donald Trump is doing everything in his power to complicate the situation of the Indian working community in the country.
Thousands of Indian skilled professionals working in the United States on H1B visas are facing fresh uncertainty after sudden changes in visa processing rules under the Trump administration.
Many workers had traveled to India for routine visa renewals, confident they would return quickly to their jobs in the US. Instead, consular appointments were abruptly cancelled or pushed back by several months, leaving families stranded and careers at risk.
The disruption is linked to tighter scrutiny measures introduced by the administration, including expanded background checks and social media reviews. While officials argue these steps are necessary for national security, affected workers say the lack of clarity and communication has created chaos.
Several professionals employed in technology, healthcare, and engineering sectors now face job loss, unpaid leave, or project disruptions as they remain stuck outside the country.
Indian companies and US based employers are also feeling the impact, as critical projects depend heavily on these skilled workers. Immigration experts warn that repeated policy shocks could damage America’s reputation as a global talent hub.
As legal challenges and diplomatic discussions continue, thousands of families remain in limbo, unsure when or if they will be allowed to resume their lives in the United States.
