LIVE: Trump US Visa Crackdown Hits Indians Amid Green Card Worries | Spotlight | N18G
Under President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy, the US immigration system is experiencing significant turmoil, deeply impacting applicants worldwide. Latest figures from Q2 FY2025 reveal an 18% year-on-year drop in processed immigration cases. This backlog is causing immense anxiety, with Green Card replacements now taking over 8 months and work permit processing times more than doubling in a quarter. Indian nationals are particularly affected, with F-1 student visas plummeting by 27% from March to May. Adding to the burden, Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” introduces a new $250 Visa Integrity Fee for most non-immigrant categories, set to increase the cost of a US tourist or business visa for Indians by nearly 2.5 times, reaching approximately $472. The escalating costs and frustrating delays are leaving immigrants’ dreams and lives in limbo.
