Trump administration's new fee proposal could make US green card costlier. How can it impact Indians?

The Trump administration's proposal to increase fees for green cards could significantly raise the cost for Indian applicants, who made up nearly a third of the 66,800 new lawful US residents in 2024. This fee hike could deter many from pursuing the green card process due to the added financial burden, impacting both individual aspirations and the broader immigration trends. With such a substantial number of Indians affected, this change could have long-term implications on the demographic and economic ties between the US and India.
