Paridhi Upadhaya was packing her bags after securing a computer science scholarship in the US until headlines of President Donald Trump's H-1B visa crackdown last week prompted her family in Lucknow, India, to scrap the plan.
“Trump's unending onslaught against immigrants is forcing us to consider other destinations for her,” the 18-year-old's father Rudar Pratap said.
Upadhaya is among thousands of Indians for whom the American dream of world-class education, lucrative careers, better quality of life and social mobility is turning sour due to rising US visa restrictions and policy unpredictability.
For decades the H-1B visa has been the gateway to a new life: a chance for young engineers and scientists from India, China and other countries to turn years of study into high-paying jobs and the possibility of permanent residency.

Hey Central Venezuelan trash, this is a US first thing so stay out of it. Remain in your hovel in Caracas
The Indians didn't take the American dream. We gave it to them.
Not gonna happen. Indians are not given those jobs because they’re oh so smart and so cutting edge. They’re given those jobs because they’re CHEAP. That’s the only reason. CHEAP.
Once they are no longer cheap, they will no longer get those jobs. They were never so super duper smart or talented to begin with.
This is what the globalists do not grasp. Countries are not just economic zones. They're countries. They belong to the citizens. The government needs to act in the interests of its citizens - not the interests of corporations.
EU trash go away. We AMERICANS are celebrating a globalist loss. It’s past your bedtime.
Sorry but no one voted directly on H-1b. It was started by Bush 1 who can rot in hell.
Thank God this nightmare is almost over. Hopefully STEM wages will go up Americans can start families and live the dream.
Sorry but GOOD! Stay there and make India great!
Towns around us are overrun and taken over by Indians and we are starting to lose ours with all the condo/low income housing being built.
Now - do the same thing for the long-distance “helpline” jobs...
Winning!
The horror, the horror.
Posh exclusive Texas homes advertised for Indians only.
Another way the parasites thwart US law.
Building a residential development that exclusively sells or rents to people of a specific ethnicity is illegal in the U.S. under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA).
As for Texas housing developments being built for “Indians only,” reports and developer websites show new residential projects cater to the visa-holding Indian community by emphasizing cultural and social aspects.
