The US is considering changes to its immigration rules, including the potential removal of the 60-day grace period for H-1B holders, which could affect Indian workers in the US. This development, along with other proposed rule changes, may make it more challenging for Indians to work and live in the US.
Other changes being discussed or implemented include stricter Green Card rules, potentially costlier H-1B and L-1 visa extensions, and increased scrutiny of visa applications. For more information on these developments and how they may impact Indians in the US, see the linked sources. Additionally, some proposed bills, such as Alex Padilla's green card bill, may offer new paths to permanent residency for certain H-1B visa holders.
