Indian Nationals File Lawsuit Against Trump’s H-1B Ban

Under the US President Donald Trump’s administration, there was a recent presidential proclamation on H-1B visas that prevents them from entering the US or a visa will not be issued to them at all.

Wanting to declare this presidential proclamation as unlawful, a group of 174 Indian nationals filed a lawsuit in the US.

The Lawsuit was filed in the US District Court, stating that h-1B/H-4 visa ban hurts the Unites States’ economy, separates families, and defies Congress.

The lawsuit is filed by lawyer Wasden Banias on behalf of the 174 Indian nationals. The lawsuit filed also urges the court to compel the Department of State to issue decisions on pending cases of H-1B and H-4 visas.

It is already known that Trump suspended issuing of H-1B work visas till the end of this year, though it is temporary.

The Trump administration’s decision on foreign work visa ban is claimed to be brought in due to the huge unemployment rate in the US, as it grew as big as it quadrupled in just four months from February to May in 2020.
