The Trump administration is proposing significant changes to the H-1B visa program that could greatly affect foreign workers and their families. Key proposals include the potential elimination of work permits for spouses of H-1B holders, known as H-4 EAD, which has raised concerns particularly among Indian families. New regulations may also end the existing 60-day grace period that allows H-1B workers to find new employment after layoffs, putting many at risk of rapid deportation. Additionally, a controversial new fee structure for H-1B petitions is on the table, with some estimates suggesting fees could exceed $200,000, creating financial barriers for employers seeking to hire foreign talent. As these proposals advance, there is growing uncertainty among affected families regarding their future in the United States.
