$100K to work in US? Trump’s new visa proposal to hit Indian students hard

A proposed $100,000 fee on Optional Practical Training (OPT) work permits by the US government could shatter post-graduation job prospects for over 3.6 lakh Indian students.

New Delhi: A reported plan by the Trump administration to charge a massive $100,000 fee for post-graduation work permits could crush the US career hopes of thousands of Indian students.

The US government is reportedly thinking about putting this huge $100,000 price tag on Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT is the work permit that allows international students to work in America after finishing their degree. Top officials are currently discussing the idea, though the White House has not made an official announcement yet.

If this rule comes into force, it will create a massive financial obstacle for Indian families who already spend huge amounts of money on US education.
