“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.

And yet India remains a s-hole.
The problem with engineering are all of the electives.
I agree. Mexican food is not as stinky as that Indian crap.
Only if they are able to mangle their spoken English to the point it is almost totally unintelligible.
Yes they are.
Hotels run by the Patels?
America First!
They say it like it’s a bad thing. I don’t have anything against them, but lots of them seemed to me to be taking an unfair advantage of the country’s hospitality.
“Patel hotels” refers to hotels in the U.S. owned by people with the surname Patel, primarily of Indian origin. This family name has become synonymous with the hotel and motel industry in America, with the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) reporting that Indian Americans own a significant share of hotels, and a large portion of these are owned by Patels.
Welcome to the party pal.
I hope this is true.
Make India Great Again! Though I am not certain modern India was ever great.
Don't forget the 4 father and mother in laws, please the brothers and sisters in law who come to "visit" and knock out American citizen anchor babies while here. A single H-1B can breed a dozen or more "immigrants" thru chain migration alone.
I did a contract for Nintendo and lived nearby them up in Redmond Washington. Within a 5 mile radius there were no fewer than 13 Indian restaurants.
Nintendo itself didn’t have that many Indians working there, but they’re nestled in the middle of Microsoft land, and they have THOUSANDS.
We lived in an apartment complex nearby and it was ALL Indians. I would bet H1-Bs.
Dot’s a shame. . (evil grin)
Well,…. Bye!
You are not seeing trained US citizens ‘cause racist Unis like Harvard forbid them.
Exactly. What they don’t really want to come out and say was they’ve had a super-cushy deal going in the USA for the past 30 years. Now that the USA is returning to parity with other developed nations on these policies, they get all whiney and start talking about other countries.
Good luck in Russia.
Thank God!
