“I have never seen anything like this in 30 years,” says Mrinalini Batra, a higher studies counsellor who has helped dozens of Indian students find their way into America’s most prestigious universities.
Batra is referring to a slew of measures enacted by the US President Donald Trump administration in recent months, from time-limiting foreign student visas and hiking H1B visa fees to demanding a 15% cap on international students at US universities. Taken together, the measures seem to mark a concerted effort to restrict the number of foreign students entering America.

“The US is just not an option for us anymore. We just felt that the stress and tension for our child were not worth it. This year, many kids studying in America just didn’t come back home for holidays because they weren’t sure if they would be allowed to re-enter. My son is already studying in America but my daughter will be going to study in the UK,” said one parent speaking to HT on the condition of anonymity.

“I know a friend who took $80,000 in debt to get a master’s degree in architecture from a top US university and now her US firm has told her they will not sponsor her for a visa. So she’s going to come back to India. It’s definitely something I have to consider,” says one Indian student who is looking at studying MBA in America.

“I’m a little disillusioned. This is the kind of uncertainty I don’t need in my life. I have been telling people that if they are fully scholarship funded then they should come to America. If they have to pay, then they shouldn’t,” says one Indian student at Harvard University.

That is a productive response to getting more American Tech Workers. h1b is s counter productive bandaid at best.
Good.

This is a Trump bonus for me. I never saw a H1B ban coming. This is like Christmas and I got a new pony. I really have deep resentment for H1B Indians.
I’ve always thought the real problem with college is the lack of application. When you’re learning on the job, you see immediately how what you’re learning can be applied—and you don’t waste time on the junk pushed by professors who’ve never worked a day in the real world.
US as an option?!! So, they have a luxury of choosing between Muanmar, Venezuela and hell-knows what other shithole they decide to apply their enormous talents to and the US? Wasn’t an “option” for those who, after arrival to this blessed country, kissed the ground and remain forever grateful to its generosity…. Fook them and their options.
“We got 1,700 applicants in 15 hours for a role I recently released. I understand Spotify is popular, but we usually don’t see this many applications!“

I meant to include you as an addressee in my comment #24 above.
“I know a friend who took $80,000 in debt to get a master’s degree in architecture from a top US university and now her US firm has told her they will not sponsor her for a visa.”
Is the US short of architects?
The number of office towers getting built is now probably very small.
That being said, the only such architect I meet that had office tower experience was a nice Indian guy studying to become licensed to supervise house construction in Florida, which was more lucrative.
Good. We have too many foreigners in general and way too many H1B Indians.
I went to Northeastern in their engineering coop program. Worked at 3 companies in different fields, found the one I liked (semiconductor) and stuck with it for my career. Learned more from the work than the schooling.
Lots of the Indian students are funded by state and federal grants from the Indian government.
Today’s good news story
I hear there’s plenty of work available in call centers for those with heavy accents.
Hooray
went to Niagara Falls NY this summer and thought I would die from all the odors from all the Indian/paki food places.
I had no idea that there were so many E Asians settled there.
And yet India remains a s-hole. Maybe if these people put their talents into helping to build their own country, they would be better off. You cannot have all of the talent confined to only a few countries, it simply is not sustainable.
Considering the political and economic trajectory the large leftist run cities are on there will likely be increasing demand
for architects to convert commercial office space in abandoned skyscrapers into welfare housing.
Yeah, I don’t even want to go inside of these Indian restaurants. I’m afraid.
