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. If passed, this bill could end the OPT student visa pathway to H-1B jobs, spark mass exits, and shake up tech industries relying on skilled international talent. Top universities have even advised students to avoid travel. The OPT student visa debate is heating up—are we seeing the end of this vital program?

US green card holders and H-1B, F-1 visa holders are facing tougher re-entry checks amid enhanced scrutiny at ports of entry. Vice President JD Vance has stated that a green card does not guarantee indefinite stay, sparking fears among Indian immigrants. Travel advisories warn of visa delays, entry restrictions, and increased detentions. With 5.4 million Indians in the U.S., concerns grow over the impact of these policies. Immigration lawyers urge caution, proper documentation, and strategic travel planning to avoid complications at border checks and consulates.

Former President Donald Trump held a high-stakes phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid rising tensions in the Middle East. The two leaders reportedly discussed the ongoing deadlock in Gaza ceasefire negotiations, Iran's nuclear ambitions, and future U.S.-Israel cooperation. Trump’s explosive tweet—“We are on the same side of every issue”—has triggered intense speculation: is Trump backing a possible Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities? The call came just days after indirect U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Rome and with mounting Israeli pressure for a tougher American stance. As the world watches closely, are we on the brink of a new Middle East confrontation?
