A US federal court has struck down Donald Trump's controversial $100,000 H-1B visa fee, delivering a major setback to the White House and immediate relief to millions of Indians connected to America's skilled immigration system. The ruling affects a visa programme dominated by Indians, who account for more than 70% of approved H-1B petitions. But this is much bigger than a visa fee. Has the court saved the American Dream for Indians, or merely delayed a much larger immigration crackdown? This report breaks down the legal battle, the political fight and what comes next for Indian professionals in the United States.
