It’s not a new thing for the president of the USA who has recently announced that he may order for temporarily turning off approving immigration permission or its renewal for Indians. The terror of widespread pandemic COVIID-19 is still on due to which its economy is tussling hard. Around 15 million people in that continent have lost their jobs. It’s really a hard time when people are struggling to save life. The NRIs are feeling no earth under their feet. Now, they have one more apprehension to face off, i.e. unemployment.
There are many Indians who are looking for revising their visa. Most of these are the employees of the IT companies and technology professionals. They are under a deep shock. It seems another sequence of “Americans first” regime.
When the US president Trump tweeted in the late night on Monday, the non-residents’ fear for ousting came up front. A New York based immigration lawyer Cyrus D Mehta threw light on it.
Here are the key points that are creating a threat to the people with Indian passport there:
Impact on Indian Nationals
However, it is not clear who is going to be impacted with this decision. The details are yet to come out. But, the surfacing of apprehension is obvious because of the history. Previously, such steps had been taken while keeping aside the rights of the green cards holders. Their travel ban had been executed and there was a massive cut in the workforce from this origin. However, it is really unconstitutional to halt entry in the US.
The Worst Hit Visa Category
The executive order will likely to impact prospective aspirants from this country. Although there is going to have a little impact of the green card holder who are yet to receive confirmation on either a non-immigrant visa or an immigrant visa from the US consulates and embassy.
Stranded Indian Tourists
Those who have travel visa will likely not to be impacted unless they ask to extend their non-immigrant visa to stay there or apply for the change of the status while being in the US.
Legal Challenges
The executive order or EO may likely to face off zillions of challenges in the court. One court or more may issue a preliminary injunction and halt it unless the Apex court of this continent nods for hearing the matter.
Prospective Exemptions
There are hearsays about the exemption of the farm workers, who are there on the H2A visas. Besides, the healthcare workers can also get the opportunity to stay there because of the pandemic spreading widely, taking off lives in millions.
