US Immigration: Texas H-1B Freeze Adds to Trump-Era Visa Crackdown | Spotlight | N18G

Описание: US Texas ordered a freeze on new H-1B visa petitions by state agencies and public universities, adding to mounting pressure on the US skilled worker visa program. Governor Greg Abbott says taxpayer-funded jobs must prioritise Texans, while critics warn the move could worsen staffing shortages in education and healthcare. The decision comes amid a broader national crackdown under President Donald Trump, including higher visa fees and increased scrutiny of applicants' social media. Indians, the largest group of H-1B visa holders, are among the worst affected, with visa stamping delays stretching beyond a year. India has raised concerns with US authorities, citing hardship for families and students.
