Thousands of young Indians in the US face an uncertain future as they "age out" of H-4 dependent visas at 21. Without green cards, they must switch visas or leave the country. "We are being forced to leave the only home we know," said a worried student. A backlog in the immigration system means some may wait decades for residency. US Senator Bernie Sanders criticised the H-1B visa, saying it favours corporations over workers. "This program is not about hiring the best, but replacing American jobs," he said. Many Indians are now looking at Canada or the UK for options.
