She remarked, *“Trump’s first 100 days have created mixed outcomes for Indian immigrants and students. It feels more like a crackdown than a reform. For many, it’s proving to be a bane rather than a boon.”* Her comments reflect growing concerns among Indian professionals and students navigating shifting U.S. immigration policies. She also highlighted two key student-focused opportunities currently being discussed in U.S. policy circles: a green card for graduates — aimed at retaining skilled talent — and a merit-based immigration system that prioritizes employability and education. While the green card initiative appears to be more defined, Aurelia noted that *“the merit-based model is still being advocated, but we don’t know how or when it may take shape.”* **Visit link to article:**[**https://www.business-standard.com/immigration/donald-trump-100-days-immigrants-international-students-refugees-in-a-limbo-everything-you-need-to-know-125043000863_1.html**](https://www.business-standard.com/immigration/donald-trump-100-days-immigrants-international-students-refugees-in-a-limbo-everything-you-need-to-know-125043000863_1.html) --- ## Office Locations - [New Delhi](https://ksandk.com/locations/top-corporate-law-firm-in-delhi/) (HQ): +91-11-41318190 | info@ksandk.com - [Mumbai](https://ksandk.com/locations/top-corporate-law-firm-in-mumbai/): 3 offices (Nariman Point, Lower Parel, Andheri) | mumbai@ksandk.com - [Bangalore](https://ksandk.com/locations/top-corporate-law-firm-in-bangalore/): bangalore@ksandk.com - [Chennai](https://ksandk.com/locations/chennai/): chennai@ksandk.com - [Hyderabad](https://ksandk.com/locations/hyderabad/): hyderabad@ksandk.com - [Pune](https://ksandk.com/locations/pune/): pune@ksandk.com - [Kochi](https://ksandk.com/locations/kochi/): kochi@ksandk.com ## Contact - [Contact Page](https://ksandk.com/contact-us/) - General: info@ksandk.com | +91-11-41318190 - WhatsApp: +91-7428567444 - [Privacy Statement](https://ksandk.com/privacy-statement/) - [Terms of Use](https://ksandk.com/terms-of-use/)
