Tech industry hiring slowdowns and stricter immigration policies in the US are making permanent residency increasingly difficult for skilled Indian professionals, forcing many to reconsider long-term career plans. The combination of reduced visa approvals and corporate downsizing in foreign recruitment has tightened opportunities for those seeking to build lives abroad. Experts warn the shift could reshape global talent flows, leaving Indians—long a key workforce in American tech—facing new barriers to establishing themselves overseas. The trend reflects broader tensions between labor demand and immigration enforcement in the world’s top destination for foreign workers.
With immigration curbs and tech firms cutting foreign hiring, US residency is becoming a distant dream for many Indians.
