'I feel like I'm not wanted' as Indian H-1B visa holders question their future in the US
Indian H-1B visa holders rushed to return to the US after President Trump signed an executive order introducing a $100,000 fee for new skilled worker visa applications. Rohan Mehta, who had travelled to India for a family ceremony, spent over $8,000 on flights to beat the deadline. A later clarification stated the fee would not apply to current holders, but many had already faced costly disruptions and uncertainty about their future, as reported by the BBC.
