'Not Aimed At Indians': US Envoy Sergio Gor Clarifies H-1B Visa Changes Amid Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

U.S. envoy Sergio Gor clarified that recent H-1B visa changes are not aimed at Indian nationals, addressing concerns amid the Trump administration's broader immigration crackdown. Gor emphasized that the modifications are part of routine policy updates and not intended to single out any specific country.

The clarification comes after reports suggested that stricter H-1B visa rules could disproportionately affect Indian tech workers, who constitute a significant portion of H-1B recipients. Gor stated that the changes are designed to ensure the program benefits the U.S. economy while maintaining fairness.

The Trump administration has pursued tighter immigration policies, including increased scrutiny of work visas. Gor's remarks aim to reassure Indian professionals and businesses that rely on the H-1B program for skilled labor.

Indian officials and diaspora groups have been monitoring the situation closely, given the large number of Indian workers in the U.S. tech sector. Gor's statement is seen as an effort to maintain diplomatic and economic ties between the two countries.
