The US has implemented three major immigration changes affecting Indian professionals and Green Card holders. Automatic EAD extensions have ended, H-1B visa fees have risen to $100,000 for new petitions, and the civics test for naturalisation has become more challenging. These changes introduce delays, higher costs, and stricter eligibility requirements, directly impacting employment, career planning, and citizenship pathways for Indians. Companies sponsoring Indian talent are also adjusting hiring practices in response to the new rules.
