With the change of Government in America, the former and current students of Aligarh Muslim University have a lot of hope of getting jobs in America. People who were previously working in the US but had to return to India during the pandemic now dream again to work in America after change of power. Apart from this, those people who are already living in America now have full hope of getting a green card after which the way of getting American citizenship is cleared.
AMU, B.Tech alumni, Naved Asif Khan, was in US with his wife Ramsha Qadir. They returned to India during the pandemic.
Now after the change in power, they are again preparing to go to America once again. Naved said that the biggest benefit of this change in America will be the H1B visa & green card which will be given to Indians. The newly elected President Biden is a liberal. His approach is international. He has emphasized a better relationship with India and advocated a permanent seat in the Security Council as well. These are good signs for all Indians. Barack Obama had given Indians the facility to H1B visa holder that they could bring their spouse to the US to get jobs in certain areas, but Trump had put a hold on it. The arrival of Biden has once again cleared the way for this facility. Naved said that there was no change for the students during Trump's reign, but it is certain that after completing their studies, it will now be easier for the students to stay in the US and get jobs there.
Deeksha Singh, daughter of retired Army Col. Rajkumar Singh, who lives on ITI Road in the Bannadevi area said that the change of power in America is very important from India's point of view. Narrowness has ended and a global outlook has begun. Indians will get the most benefit from the changed policies in immigration, jobs and citizenship. New President Biden has announced that half a million Indians will be granted citizenship. The benefit of this will be given to Indians living in America who have been waiting for a green card for more than 10 years. Overall, the tenure of the new government is going to be favorable for Indians.
