Immigration Policies Weigh on Indian Workers Seeking Green Cards
As the Trump administration continues to clamp down particularly hard on the H-1B skilled guestworker visa program, workers who’ve been on those visas for years are suddenly seeing denials.
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants, mainly from India, may never get their green cards. Now some are losing their temporary work visas while waiting.
That’s not just bad news for the workers. It also affects employers, mostly in high-tech industries, who say they have demonstrated they need high-skilled foreign workers.
