Donald Trump’s election win has raised concerns for many Indian families in the U.S. His "America First" policy may lead to tighter immigration rules, affecting H-4 work permits for spouses of H-1B visa holders. These work permits, or Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), help spouses work, get social security numbers, and open bank accounts. Trump’s proposed shift to a skills-based immigration system could limit family-focused visas, impacting many Indian families. Immigration attorney Ashwin Sharma warns this would be a setback for skilled spouses in fields like tech and healthcare. Many fear a prolonged wait for green cards.
