US Tightens Immigration & H1-B Rules: Why Indians Could Be Among the Worst Hit | Vantage | 4K

For years, America has been a destination for Indian students and professionals, but immigration rules are changing. U.S. student visas issued to Indian nationals fell 62 percent in 2025, while new proposals and policies are tightening the H-1B and immigration application process. Indians accounted for about 71 percent of approved H-1B petitions in 2024. A proposed rule could remove the 60-day grace period for certain H-1B workers, while some petitions face higher fees and applications can be denied without an RFE.
