US Ends Automatic Renewal of Work Permits: Thousands of Migrant Workers, Face Uncertainty

US Immigration News: In a major policy shift, the US Department of Homeland Security has announced an end to automatic renewals of work permits — a move that could disrupt the lives of thousands of migrant workers, including many Indians. The rule, part of the Trump administration’s tougher immigration stance, replaces Biden-era policies that gave immigrants more time to legally work after their permits expired. The administration says it’s about “national security and vetting,” but critics fear it will create bureaucratic backlogs and job uncertainty for skilled foreign workers. Watch as The Indian Express explains what the new rule means, who will be affected, and why Indian professionals may bear the brunt.
