Why US Companies Cancelling Job Offers To Indians?

The volume of the Indian population in the United States has been on a constant rise in the recent past. However, the latest developments are suggesting that several Indian students in the United States are facing unexpected setbacks as major American companies have reportedly cancelled job offer letters, even after successful internships and strong performance.

According to reports, firms like Microsoft and Walmart have withdrawn offers due to uncertainty surrounding the new H1B visa regulations and the recently announced $100,000 visa fee.

While the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services later clarified that this fee does not apply to students already in the U.S. on F1 visas, confusion among employers has led to hesitation in hiring international candidates.

The report suggests that many companies are now avoiding sponsorships altogether, fearing regulatory complications and higher costs. This has left several qualified Indian graduates anxious about their career prospects.

The article warns that talent and hard work alone may no longer guarantee success for international students, as immigration policies increasingly influence job opportunities.

Experts advise students to stay informed about visa rules, seek companies with reliable sponsorship histories, and prepare alternate plans, including exploring opportunities in other countries or remote work roles. The situation highlights how unpredictable U.S. immigration policies are reshaping the employment landscape for skilled Indian professionals.
