As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, concerns about new immigration restrictions are driving a surge in inquiries to a leading US immigration firm in Dubai.
Shai Zamanian, legal director of The American Legal Center, expressed that immigrants in the US and around the world are anxious about Trump’s promises to end birthright citizenship, cancel visa programs, tighten visa restrictions, and escalate deportations.
The H-1B visa program, aimed at highly educated foreign professionals in specialty fields, was significantly impacted during Trump’s first term. The uncertainty surrounding immigration policies has led to a rush of applications before Trump’s official return in January.
With fears of immigration policy changes looming, UAE residents are seeking secure pathways to move to the US before Trump’s second term begins. Despite plans for stricter immigration laws, opportunities for legal migration through investment are still available.
For families, students, and professionals looking to immigrate to the US, the window of opportunity may be closing as Trump’s administration prepares to implement new immigration policies.
