The United States is increasingly becoming a less attractive destination for non-permanent residents, particularly Indian nationals, due to stringent visa regulations and limited access to housing loans, according to recent media reports. Historically, Indians have dominated the H-1B visa category, often arriving in the US for higher education and subsequently pursuing employment opportunities. However, escalating visa fees, restrictive policies, and diminishing housing prospects are deterring Indian students and professionals from choosing the US as their preferred destination.
