The future of the OPT student visa program is under serious threat with a new US bill proposing its elimination. Over 300,000 Indian students could be affected. The OPT student visa allows graduates to work in the US for up to three years, especially in STEM fields. If passed, this bill could end the OPT student visa pathway to H-1B jobs, spark mass exits, and shake up tech industries relying on skilled international talent. Top universities have even advised students to avoid travel. The OPT student visa debate is heating up—are we seeing the end of this vital program?

US green card holders and H-1B, F-1 visa holders are facing tougher re-entry checks amid enhanced scrutiny at ports of entry. Vice President JD Vance has stated that a green card does not guarantee indefinite stay, sparking fears among Indian immigrants. Travel advisories warn of visa delays, entry restrictions, and increased detentions. With 5.4 million Indians in the U.S., concerns grow over the impact of these policies. Immigration lawyers urge caution, proper documentation, and strategic travel planning to avoid complications at border checks and consulates.
