Impact of Trump’s Policies on H-1B Visa Program
Summary: Trump’s first-term policies significantly impacted the H-1B visa program, crucial for employing skilled foreign workers in the US. His administration saw denial rates rise sharply, while COVID-19 restrictions further reduced approvals, which only rebounded post-2021. Indian nationals, major users of the program, faced higher hurdles during his term. Trump’s potential return could reshape H-1B policies, with proposals such as automatic green cards for US-educated foreign graduates. Such changes might benefit Indian students but may bring broader economic effects, like inflation, due to increased tariffs. Future policies will impact skilled labor in US markets significantly.
