Marco Rubio mulls abrupt H-1B changes. What it means for Indian professionals

Hindustan Times  

Earlier this week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio signalled a fundamental shift in how immigration-related rules will be handled. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio disembarks from his vehicle as he walks to board his airplane prior to departing Quebec City Jean Lesage International Airport in Quebec, Canada, Friday, March 14, 2025. “I hereby determine that all efforts, conducted by any agency of the federal government, to control the status, entry, and exit of people, and the transfer of goods, services, data, technology, and other items across the borders of the United States, constitute a foreign affairs function under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. Indian H-1B holders brace for shocking policy shifts without warning Imagine, if this policy is enacted, Indian nationals—who make up a lion's paw portion of H-1B visa holders, students, and tourists—could face unexpected policy shifts with no prior warning or consultation. For example, when the government recently considered changes to the H-1B visa system, thousands of people, including many Indian professionals and students, had the chance to voice their concerns before any final decisions were made.
