In this video, Firstpost explains JD Vance's latest H-1B visa remarks and what they could mean for Indian professionals in America. Vance says H-1B visas should not replace American workers with low-wage foreign workers and argues the programme should attract 'actual geniuses'. The comments come amid growing debate over H-1B visa rules, skilled foreign workers, immigration, US jobs, and changes to the H-1B programme. With Indians accounting for a major share of H-1B approvals, the evolving US immigration policy could have significant implications for Indian IT professionals and skilled workers.
