An American citizen has voiced strong criticism of the H-1B visa policy, triggered by the experience of his Indian friend who was compelled to leave the United States. The friend, after residing in the U.S. for eight years, was forced to return to India when she was unable to secure a new job within the 60-day grace period following her job loss. The man expressed his frustration on LinkedIn, highlighting her contributions, including her education, tax payments, and the value she added to her team and the city. He emphasized the detrimental impact of the policy, arguing that it results in the loss of valuable talent for the American economy, benefiting competitors. The individual called for a significant overhaul of the H-1B visa regulations, citing the need for better methods to retain international talent.
