U.S. Immigration Policy Changes Affect Skilled Workers and Investor Visa Requirements
The U.S. has implemented stricter immigration policies affecting skilled foreign workers, particularly impacting Indian professionals through measures like suspensions from the PERM program and increased visa fees. Officials, including Secretary Marco Rubio, state these changes are part of a global immigration overhaul, not targeted at India. Indian-American voters express varied concerns about immigration but prioritize broader issues in upcoming elections. Additionally, the EB-5 investor visa program may raise its minimum investment threshold in 2027, affecting potential applicants seeking U.S. permanent residency.
