Many NRIs living on H1B visas are experiencing anxiety, often referred to as "Trumpophobia."
They are concerned that if Donald Trump returns to power after the November election, he may introduce stringent rules on H1B visa holders, potentially impacting their travel plans to and from India.
Many worry that if they need visa stamping upon returning from India to the USA, it may be restricted, as happened for some during Trump's previous term.
Trump continues to campaign on the "citizens first" theme, focusing on protecting American jobs and limiting foreign outsourcing.
As a result, many are planning trips to India and aiming to return within the next couple of months, anticipating that if Trump wins, he may implement his policies as early as January when he takes office.
Many NRIs on H1B visas with advance parole have already booked flights to India for November and December. Not many are optimistic about a possible win for Kamala Harris.
Observing the high number of tickets booked by NRIs for India, it seems many believe a Trump victory is likely.
