President Donald Trump has declared that unless at least one parent of a newborn in the US is an American citizen or a green card holder, the child will not be an American citizen — a right that all those born in the US have enjoyed for much of the country’s history.
Trump’s decision will have life-altering implications for all those on a temporary visa status in US — including hundreds of thousands Indians who are on temporary work visas (H-1B and L1), on dependent visas (H4), study visas (F1), academic visitor visas (J1), or short term business or tourist (B1 or B2) visas. The decision will be applicable to all children born in the US from February 20, 30 days since the order.
