In another blow mainly to high-skilled Indians, the state of Texas has backed US President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration and announced a freeze on H-1B visa applications for state agencies and universities.
The decision, confirmed by Governor Greg Abbott, comes just months after Trump announced a $100,000 hike for H-1B visa applicants.
