Following his election to the presidency, donald trump issued several executive orders. One of the rulings had a direct effect on the indian population regarding visas, as many had anticipated. trump abolished birthright citizenship, which meant that a child born in the united states would automatically be awarded U.S. citizenship and a U.S. passport regardless of the parents' visa status. This will expire on february 19, 2025, as per Trump's administration rule.
But despite this heartbreaking news, the indian community's Green Card holders are the only ones who stand to gain. Children will not be granted U.S. citizenship in any other situation combining various visa combinations. The following are the main scenarios:
1. The kid will be granted U.S. citizenship if both parents have Green Cards.
2. The kid will be granted U.S. citizenship if the father has a Green Card and the mother is on an H-1B visa.
3. The kid will not be granted U.S. citizenship if both parents are on H-1B visas.
4. The kid will not be granted U.S. citizenship if the mother is on an H-4 dependent visa and the father is on an H-1B visa.
5. The kid will not be granted U.S. citizenship if the mother is on a visiting visa and the father is on an H-1B visa.
6. A kid born to parents on student visas will not be granted U.S. citizenship.
These are the several ways that the indian community will be impacted by Trump's executive order. While all other visa holders will be affected by this move, it seems that only Green Card holders now need to be concerned.
