H-1B Fee Hike Shatters Indian Student Dreams

A proposed $100,000 fee on H-1B visas by President Trump has shattered the dreams of many young Indian engineering students aiming for careers in the U.S. This policy change, particularly impacting India which dominates H-1B grants, threatens a pipeline for skilled workers and mid-class families who invested heavily in STEM education. Students like Sai Jagruthi face uncertainty, with alternatives like Germany and Canada emerging, while some also see potential for India's self-reliance. Existing visa holders also express anxiety about their futures.
