The US has made a new immigration rule that affects many immigrant families, especially those from India. This rule changes how a childs age is counted for green card eligibility, making it harder for some children to stay in the US after they turn 21.
How the new rule affects families
The new rule makes it harder for children of long-term immigrants to get green cards. Many children of H-1B visa holders may age out of the process when they turn 21. This means they lose their dependent status and are no longer in line for citizenship. For Indian families in the US on temporary visas, this change is very important. It affects their childrens education plans and future in America.
Education abroad as a solution
Because of this new rule, more families are looking at universities in other countries. Canada, Australia, and the UK are becoming popular choices. These countries make it easier to get student visas and offer better chances of staying after graduation. For many families, sending children abroad for college is now about survival, not just choice. They are planning years ahead to make sure their children have a stable future.
The new rule is set to start in August 2025. Follow The Rising News for more verified updates.
