US H1B visa, green card unavailable, here is how Indian techies look to get into America now
The number of Indian IT professionals seeking EB-5 visas has doubled in the last three years, said Vivek Tandon, founder and CEO, EB5 BRICS, an EB5 visa advisory firm.
With the US government making it tougher to get H1-B visas and green card or US citizenship, Indian techies are taking another route to enter and stay permanently in the hallowed land. EB-5 visas – issued to high net-worth individuals looking to migrate to the US – are becoming popular among Indian IT professionals looking to continue working in the US or in some cases, even begin.
