Trump incited panic among the indian community as soon as he became president of the United States, especially among those with visas and students, notably master's students, who are heavily represented have the country. trump terminated birthright citizenship by an executive order. Up until recently, a U.S. passport and citizenship were automatically awarded to every child born in the country, regardless of the parents' immigration status. Trump's decree, however, nullified this program after a 30-day grace period.
 
Accordingly, children born before february 19, 2025, will continue to be granted U.S. citizenship and passports, but those born after this date would not. H-1B employees, F-1 students, and holders of other non-immigrant visa categories, such as B-1, B-2, F-2, O-, P-, and R-visas, have all expressed widespread anxiety over this decision.
 
Many of these people are quite upset, particularly newlywed couples who intend to have a family. There is a lot of discussion on social media, and some people are making jokes about a spike in C-section births before february 19 in order to obtain citizenship for their kids. Beyond the comedy, though, indian visa holders are crushed by this policy shift.
 
In the past, many people took solace in the knowledge that their children would be U.S. citizens and lead stress-free lives as immigrants, even when they had delays in obtaining visas and green cards. That guarantee is no longer there. They have been directly affected by Trump's order in a number of ways, including delayed green card issuance and their children's loss of birthright citizenship. Now, a lot of people are hoping that the order will be challenged in court, but they are also afraid because they know how determined trump is. This executive decision created a severe depression for indian visa holders, particularly those who were planning a family or were shortly to have children.
