An Indian‑American immigration advocate has said that the reason so many Indians are on H‑1B visas is not by choice, but because of flaws in the United States’ immigration system that make it extremely difficult for them to obtain permanent residency.
Sidharth, founder of the Indian‑American Advocacy Council, posted on X that the long waits for Green Cards force many Indians to remain in the H‑1B programme for years. He wrote: “It is not because Indians love being on temporary visas. It is because the Green Card system will not let them leave the temp visa program.”
