For decades, Indian professionals have chased the ‘American Dream’. At the centre of it all sits the H-1B visa, the pass that lets you live and work in America, and eventually apply for a green card.
But that dream is looking shaky. On September 19th, US President Donald Trump signed a proclamation adding a one-time fee of 100,000 dollars to every new H-1B application. For young Indians hoping to build their lives abroad, this changes everything.
So what happens to the ‘American Dream’ now? In this episode of The Signal Brief, we hear from students, workers and immigration lawyers who are confronting these questions in real time.
