Trump administration moves to revoke 200,000 visas, impose $103K H-1B fee

- Indian technology firms have invested over $1.1 billion in the US STEM pipeline, partnering with more than 130 universities and impacting millions of students and employees.
- About 71% of approved H-1B visas are held by Indian nationals, with companies like TCS and Amazon among the top beneficiaries, while some firms report a large local employment base and minimal H-1B dependence.
