Kids of H-1B visa holders now face deportation, separation
The USCIS has reversed a key Biden-era policy protecting dependent children of H-1B visa holders from aging out of the green card process. Effective August 15, eligibility will be based only on Final Action Dates, leaving many to lose dependent status upon turning 21. The move disproportionately impacts Indian families, reigniting concerns of family separation and prolonged immigration limbo.
