US visa no longer a passport to love for Indians after Trump H-1B squeeze
Summary
Tighter US H-1B visa policies under President Trump have caused Indian families to reconsider marrying their children to Indian citizens working in the US, due to fears over job and immigration stability.
Key Points
- US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown has made Indian families less inclined to marry their children to Indian citizens living in the US.
- The overhaul of the H-1B visa, which disproportionately affects Indians, has increased uncertainty and delayed weddings among Indian families.
- Matchmaking services report a slowdown in demand for NRI suitors following tightened US visa restrictions.
- Some Indian clients are now considering potential marriage matches in Canada, the UK, Europe, and the Middle East due to the US immigration uncertainties.
