In recent weeks, U.S. immigration policies have become significantly stricter, prompting immigration attorneys to issue travel risk advisories for Indian Green Card holders, F-1 visa holders, and H-1B visa holders.
These concerns arise after the Trump administration proposed restricting travel from 43 countries, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bhutan. While India is not currently on any official travel ban list, immigration lawyers caution that Indian travelers are still facing increased security inspections, a backlog in visa stamping, and in some cases, even detention at U.S. airports.
The anxiety among Indian immigrants grew following recent remarks by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who stated, “A green card does not give an individual an indefinite right to stay in the United States.” This comment has raised concerns for millions of Indian-origin immigrants, many of whom fear the impact on their status and future in the U.S.
The Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration has led to more intense scrutiny by U.S. immigration agencies, with travelers facing heightened checks and stricter screenings upon returning to the U.S.
Indian immigrants are now navigating a more uncertain and challenging immigration landscape, with concerns growing about their ability to travel freely and maintain their status in the U.S.
