The recent reversal of a USCIS policy has significant implications for children of green card applicants, particularly those from Indian families. This change, effective August 15, 2025, raises concerns about the future of many H-1B visa holders’ children who may now face the risk of ‘aging out’ and losing their green card eligibility.
- USCIS reverses child protection policy.
- H-1B visa children may lose Green Card rights.
- New citizenship rules affect Indian-origin kids.
- Ageing out risks for H-1B visa holders.
- Legal status threatened by policy changes.
As the landscape of U.S. immigration policy shifts, the stakes are high for families relying on these pathways to citizenship. With the new rules, children who turn 21 may no longer qualify for green cards, leaving many families in distress. How will this affect the dreams of countless young individuals seeking a stable future in the U.S.?
This policy change raises critical questions about the future of immigration in the U.S. Will families be forced to reconsider their long-term plans? The implications are profound:
- Children may lose their legal status upon turning 21.
- Families face uncertainty in their immigration journeys.
- Indian-origin children are particularly affected, given the high number of H-1B visa holders.
- Potential legal challenges could arise as families seek to protect their rights.
As we look ahead, it’s crucial for affected families to stay informed and consider their options. Advocacy and legal support may become essential in navigating this complex landscape.
