Indian students in US grapple with changing visa rules
Indian Express ^ | 10/19/2025 | Neeti Nigam

As Indian citizens face a dramatic downturn in overseas career prospects amid restrictive US immigration policies, students and professionals are closely watching President Donald Trump’s next move. For a nation that contributes the largest number of H-1B visa holders globally, the new policy has left many—especially those nearing graduation—scrambling to reassess their plans and explore alternatives elsewhere.

“The announcement landed like a seismic shock,” said Chell Roberts, Dean of the University of San Diego. “It has disrupted the aspirations of students, families, and companies who have long viewed the H-1B as a bridge to opportunity.”

A 26-year-old from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, who completed a master’s in computer science in 2024, said the rule had complicated his job prospects.

“I’m one of those who will be badly affected by this new H-1B visa rule, as I cannot apply for the upcoming lottery. We’re consulting lawyers to see if students can be exempted, but we still need clarity,” he said, adding that most students choose US universities for global exposure, international credentials, and better pay.

“Many candidates have challenged the president’s order, and everyone’s waiting for the court’s decision. I hope the government provides relief so people like me can stay and work here,” he added.

I guess your one lament is that marcus the AI doesn’t have any equipment that you can give a tongue bath to. 😉😂😂

Legal immigration reduces the wages of all WORKERS, reducing their political power in the process. THE ONLY REASON WHY ANY COUNTRY HAS EVER IMPORTED HUMANS WAS TO INCREASE THE LABOR SUPPLY AND LOWER PREVAILING WAGES. Both legal and illegal immigration are a tremendous burden on the working class , a situation that is exploited by the socialists and the Marxists.

I reviewed his posting history and he does not appear to be ‘AI’.

You don't know from shinola, dumbuscentralus.

I've been here since March 1997, and I'm a computer programmer.

I've been tracking him since he went on his various jihads, starting with Foxnews and Tucker Carlson.

I was a chump like you when he started in on FauxNews in 2020 - his first great FR jihad - but his aims became clear over the years.

Disruption, and smearing Free Republic by encouraging chumps like you. I got over being marcus's chump.

How about you?

COBOL. The curse that keeps on giving.

For non-trivial AI work, text prompt engineering is evolving into a COBOL-like programming language.
