When Trump was last in office, he made it clear that he wanted to make immigration more restrictive. This included the H1B visa program, which is crucial for many international students, especially from India, who wish to stay and work in the U.S. after graduation.
Since Trump is back back, we could see stricter regulations, including limiting the number of H1B visas granted and prioritizing American workers over foreign talent.

This means fewer spots for foreign workers, which makes the competition for a visa even fiercer.
The fear isn’t about securing that H1B visa but about the long-term stability of being able to live and work in the U.S. under a system that may start to prioritize American workers over international talent.

You might feel anxious, thinking, “What if all my hard work gets derailed because of these policies?” It’s a tough pill to swallow, especially when you’ve invested so much time and effort into your dreams.
Also, under Trump, the process could become more complex-longer processing times, more paperwork, and even stricter rules of employers sponsoring H1B workers.

It’s not just about getting the visa but staying in the U.S. long term. Trump could push for policies that force companies to hire more Americans and limit how long foreign workers can stay.
While nothing is set in stone, the fear is that after Trump takes charge for his second term, these tougher immigration policies will make it significantly harder for international students to stay in the U.S. after their studies. So, students might need to rethink their plans or prepare for a much more challenging journey to secure that H1B visa.
