Donald Trump Visa Policy

The Biden administration on Friday said it is willing to reconsider the objections or adverse decisions to foreign workers on visas like H-1B due to the three policy memos by the previous Trump administration which now have been rescinded.

The Biden administration has announced that it is delaying the H-1B policy of the previous Trump administration on allocation of the popular foreign work visas by continuing with the lottery system until December 31, 2021, to give the immigration agency more time to develop, test and implement the modifications to the registration system.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday said that a United States visa policy that supports Indian talent is mutually beneficial and a "win-win" for both the countries.

The Trump administration's decision to prevent federal agencies from hiring foreign workers - mainly those on H1B visas - will hurt the US economy more than Indians eyeing the American job market, industry heads said, adding that the policy changes introduced in the run up to the US Presidential elections this year could work as the push the Indian...

The temporary suspension of foreign work visas, including the most sought-after H-1B visas, is a short-sighted policy that threatens scholarly engagement, a top US university has said.

The temporary suspension of H-1B and other non-immigrant visas by President Donald Trump along with other restrictive policies on immigration is detrimental to the United States and its economy, president of a top American business advocacy group has said.

Donald Trump has said he will replace the existing green cards with 'Build America' visa, as the US President unveiled a new merit and points-based immigration policy that seeks to increase the quota for highly-skilled workers from 12 to 57 per cent.

US President Donald Trump's administration has begun denying visas to unmarried, same-sex partners of foreign diplomats and UN employees, the media reported.

As the Trump administration continues to tighten screws on the H-1B visa programme, United States consul general in Mumbai, Edgard Kagan, says his country encourages and welcomes "qualified Indians".

H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations. The work visa is popular among Indian IT professionals. H-4 visas are issued to the spouses of H-1B visa holders, a significantly large number of whom are high-skilled professionals from India.

US Deputy Chief of Mission said that there have been no big changes in the H-1B visa programme and importantly, nothing new on the H-4 visa policy amid the Donald Trump administration's plan to overhaul the immigration system. US Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) MaryKay L Carlson said granting employment visa and work permits is the sovereign decision...

There have been "no big changes" in the H-1B programme and "nothing new" on the H-4 visa policy, the US said today, amid the Trump administration's plan to overhaul the immigration system.

The US government today began accepting applications for the H-1B visa, considered the most sought-after American work visa, for 2018-19 amid strict evaluation of the applicants by the US administration. While the number of H-1B visas it grants remains the same, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the agency which proces...

President Donald Trump has been arguing for a new immigration policy, in which highly skilled immigrants are favored over anyone else in line, including family members (which his administration calls "chain migration"). And many Indian immigrants support that approach. In fact, the Republican Hindu Coalition held a recent rally - with about 200 Ind...

Amid the heat and dust over Donald Trump administration's tightening of the visa regime, US ambassador Kenneth Juster today said the US President's America First policy and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Make In India" initiative do not clash. India, Mr Juster said, could even become the hub of US business in Asia Pacific -- which can help it get ...
