Biden changed the new rules for H-1B visas in America before leaving, what will be the impact on Indians?

The newly elected President of America, Donald Trump, is going to take office on January 20. Before this, the current President Joe Biden has made a big change. Biden has implemented new rules for H-1B visas. These new rules will benefit Indian people a lot. This is the last reform in the visa policy of America by the outgoing President of America, Joe Biden.
Indians have the highest participation among those taking H-1B visas. Out of the 386,000 H-1B visas given in the year 2023, more than 72 percent of visas were given to Indians.
Apart from this, there can be another important change. People with H-1B visas will be able to renew their visas without returning to their country. This will provide great relief to people.
How will the new rule affect Indians?
- After the change in H-1B visa rules, now you will not need any special educational course to get this visa. Optional degrees which are directly related to the job have also been approved.
- According to the new rules, fairness will be maintained in the lottery process, along with this, strictness will be imposed on them so that it becomes easier for those applying for visas.
- The H-1B visa process has been simplified for students pursuing education in the US on F-1 visas.
- Apart from this, now after applying for a visa, its process will be expedited so that people can get visas quickly.
- According to the new rules, now companies will be able to hire more expert people as per their needs.
- Failure to verify information during the inspection may result in the H-1B petition being rejected.
- To better comply with the rules, the new updated Form I-129 will be mandatory from January 17, 2025.
Trump was against this visa.
Donald Trump has criticized the H-1B visa many times. However, recently Elon Musk, who is considered very close to him, praised this visa. Since then, Trump's attitude towards this visa has softened. Therefore, it is also believed that after Trump comes to power, there will be no change in it, or it will not be abolished.
What is H-1B visa
H-1B visa is usually given to those who go to America to work. The validity of this visa is six years. A person holding an H-1B visa can live in America with his children and wife. Unmarried children under 21 years of age can go to school without a student visa. Due to the demand of American companies, Indian IT professionals get this visa the most.
