Washington: America’s 47th President-elect Donald Trump is continually selecting his Cabinet and officials to help run the government. He also surprises people with his decisions. One of his decisions is to appoint his long-time adviser Stephen Miller as deputy policy chief of his new government. Because Miller takes a hard line on immigration issues, a mindset that promotes radical thinking on this immigration issue. It is believed that his decision in such a situation may cause problems for Indian software developers living in America. Because Miller was a staunch critic of the H1B1 visa.

Vice President-elect JD Vance confirmed the appointment and posted a congratulatory message to Miller on Twitter on Monday, saying: “This is another great presidential choice.” Miller is one of Trump’s longest-serving advisers and has been with him since his first campaign the White House aside. He served as a senior adviser to Trump in his first term and played a central role in many of his policy decisions, particularly regarding immigration, including Trump’s move to separate thousands of immigrant families as a preventative program in 2018.

Miller’s anti-H1-B visa stance
According to Forbes report, studying and then getting a job in America is a boon for international students and highly skilled immigrants. Despite the economic consensus in the US, the Trump administration took the opposite approach, attempting, among other things, to sever the link between international students and their ability to work in the US after graduating. In addition to restricting H-1B visas, government officials pursued “policies to make studying in the United States less attractive.”

H-1B visas are important because they generally represent the only practical way for highly skilled foreign nationals, including international students, to work in the United States for an extended period of time and have the opportunity to become a career-based immigrant to the United States Citizens.

How will Indian software professionals be affected?
Indian citizens, who hold a significant portion of H-1B visas, could face several challenges due to Miller’s restrictive stance. Strict eligibility criteria may result in higher visa rejection rates for applications from Indian professionals. Raising the minimum wage for H-1B positions could make it difficult for U.S. companies to hire Indian tech workers, potentially limiting job opportunities. Due to increased verification and documentation requirements, processing times may be longer, which may delay visa approval for Indian professionals.

Why is H1B1 visa important for Indians?
H-1B visas are important because they generally represent the only practical way for highly skilled foreign nationals, including international students, to work long-term in the United States and have the opportunity to become work-related immigrants and U.S. citizens.
