Now he is going to impose a $ 100,000 tax on foreign students who want to work in the US. If at all he relaxes it, it will probably only be for STEM grads.
So is this the end of Indian students applying to the US for LLM? The only demographic will be wealthy people who do not wish to work there and who want to come back home, after some exposure abroad. But wouldn’t this demographic rather apply to the UK, where the fees are less? Settle for Oxford/Cambridge instead of Harvard/Yale, or LSE instead of Columbia/Stanford, or KCL/UCL instead of NYU/Chicago? Would that be such a bad thing, given that our laws are closer to the UK? And the UK is a far more welcoming country.
