The suit cites the example of “Plaintiff Phoenix Doe,” to land its point. Doe is described as an Indian citizen residing in Northern California. She is a postdoctoral researcher whose cap-exempt H-1B petition has been halted due to the $100,000 fee.

“As a result of the Proclamation, her university has indefinitely paused moving forward with the processing of her application.”
“She is suffering debilitating stress and anxiety due to the uncertainty of her position, which exacerbates the PTSD from which she suffers. Without relief, Plaintiff Phoenix will be forced to leave her postdoctoral position the United States within four months, causing serious professional and personal harm.”

Modi’s problem, not ours.
I didn’t know postdocs used H1B visas.
If she is so important to her employer then her employer will pay the 100K.
If you like your desi you can keep your desi.
That is a tough titty said the kitty yes yes
Cap-EXEMPT H1B.
She’s got a doctorate; she won’t starve. Her PTSD will be an issue wherever she is, and unless she gets at least a full-fledged Green Card (like my Canadian wife has), a lot of things related to her status can trigger her PTSD here. Going home may alleviate a lot of that, even if it introduces new issues.
The worst Indians I have ever encountered have been women Brahmin Caste.
For the first time in their lives they get to order men around and lack the technical skills to know what they are ordering.
C - 12, H - 1.
12 Crazy minimum!
The whole Indian caste system nonsense is antithetical to everything America stands for.
Tell me you're an academic snowflake with tell me...
I don’t respect the legal theory/argument that no United States policy can “harm” anyone. All policies can in someways be negative for some and positive for others. The negative side does not make them unconstitutional.
Lacks standing.
Buh bye.
Here come de judge! The Obama-Biden judge.
Do these scumbags think this will sway anyone to their side? Like we need another worthless, Indian, academic bitch.
Stop the world and send money, I’m stressed out.
Sounds like she needs a therapist, not a visa.
Oh, boo hoo. Cry me a river.
My daughter's doctoral thesis had its funding cut and nobody worried about anything except the bottom dollar. They certainly didn't care how she FELT about it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Fine. She can take her skills back to India, where she can benefit Indian society.
Indian immigrants outnumber Chinese immigrants these days. 26 years ago Chinese vastly outnumbered Indians. And don't forget Muslim Bangladeshis. They are very big here.
You never hear about the PTSD suffered by the millions of American tech workers whose jobs were stolen by the H1B horde.
