  "account": "Indian professional Anushk Sharma has warned students and working professionals against considering the United States for higher education or career opportunities due to uncertainty surrounding immigration and employment rules. In an Instagram post, Sharma bluntly stated, \"America mat aao\" (Don't come to America), expressing disappointment in the current climate of unpredictability. He specifically cautioned students focusing on business-related programs, suggesting they explore institutions like Oxford and Cambridge instead. Sharma also highlighted challenges in obtaining internships and employment opportunities in the US, citing the pausing of Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and proposed fees for Optional Practical Training (OPT) and H-1B visas. He urged caution, particularly for students pursuing technology-related courses, and recommended alternative destinations such as Germany and Switzerland, although acknowledging potential salary differences. Sharma's comments come as international students and foreign workers face ongoing uncertainty over US immigration and employment policies.",
