The USA has been a dream destination for worldwide immigrants for decades now. However, in last one decade or so, it has been slowly but surely narrowing its gates for the immigrants from all over the world. In fact, in last few months, under Trump administration, US immigration rules and requirements have become even stricter. As per a recent update, the Trump administration is said to be considering a proposal that will prevent the H1-B visa holder from extending their H1- B Visas, even if their Green card visa application is in process.
If such proposal gets implemented, H1-B visa holders will be left with no other option, but to look out for alternate immigration destination with similar features, i.e. Australia, Canada, etc.
