India humiliated over H-1B fee: Cong

Congress leader Pawan Khera accused the Modi government of bowing to US President Donald Trump's demands, claiming that India suffered humiliation while Trump received the appeasement he sought. The recent extension of the USD 100,000 H-1B visa fee for another year will negatively impact India's IT professionals and the influx of student talent.

The article outlines the potential consequences of this decision, including a harder time for Indian students to enter the US workforce, potential job cuts for smaller firms, and a talent drain to other countries like the UK, Canada, and Australia. Khera also highlighted the possibility of a decrease in remittances to India if migration falls due to the reduced H-1B visa applications.
