Chinese H-1B
Orissa POST
|October 07, 2025
When US President Donald Trump's administration in a new fiat made the coveted H-1B visa available to foreigners at a prohibitive cost, it virtually spelt doom for hi-tech professionals and scientists from India as also a few other countries who desired it most for high paying jobs in America.
-
In fact, 70 per cent of the visas were obtained by Indian professionals. There was speculation then that Europe could be the alternative destination, even though the rising intolerance towards migrants in many of these countries may dampen job-seekers' enthusiasm. Japan and China looked like probable destinations. But what appeared to be a possibility China seems determined to make it a certainty by officially launching its K Visas for work in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. When the new visa was first announced in August, it hardly attracted global attention. Days after Trump's mad rush to stop Indian professionals from getting jobs in the US, the K Visa has shot into limelight.
