Dec 30, 2020 Associated Press (AP) Many of the administration's immigration actions can be quickly undone by Joe Biden when he becomes president on Jan. 20. Yet Trump's legacy on immigration won't be easily erased.

Oct 29, 2020 PTI The H-1B visa, most sought-after among Indian IT professionals, is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said these students claimed to be employed by companies that do not exist.
The executive order signed by Donald Trump on June 22 temporarily bans issuing of fresh H1-B and L-1 visas.
The move is likely to impact several Indian companies which send their technology professionals on B-1 visas for a short stay to complete jobs on-site in the US.
The H1-B is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.
The statement came hours after the Donald Trump administration announced new restrictions on H-1B nonimmigrant visa programme which it said is aimed at protecting American workers.
Notwithstanding the withdrawal of the most recent immigration restriction on foreign students, there is widespread fear that this student body will continue to be victimised in the long run – unless the Presidential election in November brings about real change.
Trump, who is seeking re-election in November, has long sought to overhaul the US immigration system to be based on merit rather than family ties.
'It's going to be a very big bill, a very good bill, and a merit-based bill and it will include DACA, and I think people are going to be very happy,' US President Donald Trump said.
The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to bar the US Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement from forcing international students to leave the US.
The move will not have any impact on those entering the country on a temporary basis, Trump said on Tuesday.
A majority of Indians waiting in line for family-based Green Cards are siblings of US citizens.
Indian nationals account for nearly 70 per cent of all H-1B visa issued.

The pandemic has made it clear that virtual learning is here to stay. In the West, the big question is whether it will dilute the quality of the college experience and education. In India, which grapples with digital divide, the question remains whether this will reach most people at all.
