US Senator Proposes 3-Year Freeze on H-1B Visas — A Direct Hit for Indian Tech Workers
The Hindu·Sunday, 26 July 2026
A US Senator has introduced a bill seeking a three-year pause on H-1B visas, the visa category most heavily used by Indian tech professionals working in America. The bill also seeks to make permanent President Trump's $100,000 fee per H-1B petition, which was introduced earlier. If passed, it would dramatically restrict the pipeline of Indian workers into US tech firms.
Why It Matters
Hundreds of thousands of Indians work in the US on H-1B visas, and many more aspire to. This bill could shut that door for three years and make it far more expensive to get in.
