‘K-Visa equivalent to H-1B’: Indian tech talent eyes China as new visa open doors amid rising US barriers

China’s new K-visa, designed to pull in science and technology workers, is suddenly drawing attention from Indian professionals who once wanted to live the American dream. The visa comes at a moment when the US H-1B system is getting more restrictive and expensive under Donald Trump’s new immigration rules. As Beijing tries to be a welcoming hub for skilled workers, many Indians are now weighing whether the new Chinese visa could become the new H-1B for them.
