Thousands of H1-B visa holders in US may no longer be automatically required to leave the country while applying for permanent residency, after US immigration authorities issued a clarification on a controversial new policy introduced by the Trump administration.
The clarification came days after the Trump administration released a major policy memo that narrowed the circumstances under which foreign nationals can apply for green cards from inside US. The move caused panic among international workers, including a large number of Indian professionals employed in the American technology sector.
