US Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Ruling Offers Relief to Indians on Visas

The US Supreme Court recently issued a ruling on birthright citizenship that has significant implications for Indian nationals living in the United States. Hundreds of thousands of Indian professionals are present in the US on H-1B, L-1, and F-1 visas, while over a million Indians remain stuck in the employment-based green card backlog. Children born in the US to these visa holders could have been affected by any changes to birthright citizenship protections. The ruling is seen as a relief for this large Indian community, as it provides greater certainty regarding the citizenship status of their US-born children.
