Will faith 'trump' uncertainty? 'Visa temples' give hope to H1-B applicants
Saturday, 1 February 2025 Amidst rising tensions over US immigration policies under President Trump, many Indians turn to temples like Chilkur Balaji and Chamatkari Hanuman for divine assistance. Devotees participate in rituals, fervently praying for visa approvals. With faith driving their aspirations, these individuals continue hoping for a future in the US despite uncertainties.
The U.S. State Department and Immigration & Customs Enforcement are under fire as hundreds of international students—most of them from India—face sudden visa revocations and SEVIS terminations. A new policy brief by the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) reveals that 50% of impacted students are Indian, sparking concern and political pressure in both countries. Are these terminations arbitrary? Why are Indian students being disproportionately targeted? Here's what you need to know.

The future of the OPT student visa program is under serious threat with a new US bill proposing its elimination. Over 300,000 Indian students could be affected. The OPT student visa allows graduates to work in the US for up to three years, especially in STEM fields.
