In the wake of the anti-Indian wave in the US, several social media accounts have started targeting Indians living in the US and accusing them of visa fraud. Most often, these allegations are not based on any data; it's just pure slander and this time Sadhana Gollapudi, an Indian-American woman, became the target of such slander after a popular anti-Indian social media account posted a dancing video of Sadhana and claimed that she had been in the US on an F-1 visa since 2014.

F-1 is a student visa on which she might have come to the country, but the account did not verify it and instead called her a "forever" student. "Sadhana enjoys traditional barefoot crab dancing in Houston, Texas. For 12 years, she has played the student visa game, enrolling in multiple programs. Works as a dancer & cash tutor violating her visa," the account said.
US attorney Aaron Reitz responded to the claim and confirmed that Gollapudi is a naturalized US citizen which means she had her Green Card and then became a US citizen.
