US mulls major H-1B overhaul – all immigration rules to be classified as ‘foreign affairs’ – here’s what it means

Imagine a world where the rules for traveling to the United States could change overnight, without anyone getting a say. That’s what might happen, thanks to a recent move by the US State Department.

Normally, when the US government makes new rules, especially ones that affect people coming from other countries, there’s a period where everyone gets to send their feedback. When they were thinking about changing the H-1B visa rules, people from all over, including many Indians, shared their thoughts, and the government had to listen.
