A U.S. resident has publicly condemned the H-1B visa system following the forced departure of his Indian friend. The friend, who had lived in the United States for eight years, including time spent in undergraduate and graduate programs, had to leave the country due to her inability to find new employment within the stipulated timeframe. The man’s LinkedIn post detailed her contributions to the U.S. economy and the impact of her departure on the community. He expressed his disapproval of the current policy, asserting that it undermines the nation’s ability to retain skilled workers and benefits foreign competitors. He urgently advocated for reforms to the H-1B visa program to better accommodate and retain international professionals.
