As soon as Donald Trump took over the presidency of the United States, he signed a series of executive orders. As many predicted, one of the orders directly impacted the Indian community on visas.

Trump ended birthright citizenship, meaning that regardless of the parents' visa status, a child born in the U.S. would automatically be granted U.S. citizenship and a U.S. passport. This will end on February 19, 2025, according to Trump's executive order.

However, amidst this devastating news, the only beneficiaries are Green Card holders in the Indian community.

All other scenarios involving different visa combinations will result in children not receiving U.S. citizenship. Here are the key scenarios:

Dark Reality of H-1B: Indians Exploited in US

1. If both parents are Green Card holders, the child will receive U.S. citizenship.

2. If the mother is on an H-1B visa and the father is a Green Card holder, the child will receive U.S. citizenship.

3. If both parents are on H-1B visas, the child will not receive U.S. citizenship.

4. If the father is on an H-1B visa and the mother is on an H-4 dependent visa, the child will not receive U.S. citizenship.

5. If the father is on an H-1B visa and the mother is on a visiting visa, the child will not receive U.S. citizenship.

6. If both parents are on student visas and have a child, the child will not receive U.S. citizenship.

These are the various scenarios where Trump's executive order will affect the Indian community. It appears that only Green Card holders do not need to worry at this time, while all other visa holders will be impacted by this change.
