A data scientist in Minneapolis publicly condemned the U.S. H-1B visa policy after his Indian friend—who spent eight years in the country earning degrees and contributing professionally—was compelled to return to India under the strict 60-day grace period rule for visa holders who lose their job. He called the policy “ridiculous,” highlighting that she had studied, worked long hours, paid taxes, and built a community in Austin, Texas, before being uprooted. The post emphasized how such inflexible rules drive talented individuals away, urging immediate reform to retain international professionals and warning that America is losing out on innovation and investment.
