In a major change in America’s immigration system, US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that now the maximum validity period of Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) will be reduced. This decision will impact millions of Indian professionals and their families. The agency says that this change is necessary to strengthen security checks and detect potential risks.

USCIS said the new policy will allow for more frequent screening of people seeking permission to work in the US, to prevent fraud and to identify individuals with malicious intentions so that they can begin the process of removing them from the country.

People should not become a threat to public safety

Director Joseph Edlow linked the decision to public safety concerns. He said reducing the employment-permission period would ensure that people who want to work in the United States do not pose a threat to public safety and do not promote anti-national ideologies.

Foreign citizens should be checked frequently

Referring to a recent incident, he said that the person who attacked National Guard soldiers in Washington was allowed to come into the country by the previous administration. After this incident, it has become more important that foreign citizens are checked repeatedly. These changes directly impact several categories that are used by Indian citizens in large numbers, such as employment-based green card applicants and H-1B workers who are undergoing processing.

EAD valid for only 18 months instead of 5 years

Now according to the new policy, EADs given to refugees, asylum seekers, those seeking relief from removal process and those applying for Green Card (INA 245) were earlier valid for five years, but now it will be valid only for 18 months. The policy alert states that this rule applies to all applications pending or filed on or after December 5, 2025.

This change could create new concerns for Indian applicants who are already facing long waits for green cards for years. Many Indians rely on long-term EADs and advance parole documents to remain employed. The Indian expatriate community is the largest beneficiary of employment-based visas in the US. They will be most affected by this change.

The American California administration has taken an important decision regarding foreign drivers. In this, approximately 17 thousand professional driving licenses are to be cancelled. Because the Trump administration believes that many of these licenses have been handed out to immigrants illegally. This decision has been taken after an illegal Indian migrant driver took a wrong U-turn and met with an accident in Florida in August. Since then, steps have been taken to conduct professional driving license audit in the entire country. Three people had died in this accident.

At present, information about NRIs has not been shared by the administration. Truck drivers of Indian origin will be most affected by this step of the state government. Los Angeles Times, an American newspaper, had released a report in 2019, in which it was told that the Indian Sikh community had come forward to meet the shortage of truck drivers in the entire US including California for a decade.

News agency AP quoted California’s State Transportation Agency as claiming that the license had expired. The drivers were not allowed to be in the country legally. The report said that last month another illegal immigrant Indian truck driver had died in California. Three people had died in this accident itself, after which concern had increased. After the incident, the issue of illegal immigrant drivers became hot all over America.

However, US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy rejected the California Governor’s claim regarding the length of the permit stay. Also said that the decision to cancel the license shows that the state has not fulfilled its responsibility well.

According to the news agency, the Democratic Governor’s Office and the Republican Trump Administration’s Transportation Department have agreed that the licenses violate existing standards. However, this month the US Transportation Secretary had said that due to failing in the English proficiency test, the licenses of more than 7 thousand American truck drivers will be canceled in 2025 and they will be taken out of service.

According to AP report, out of 2 lakh non-American citizens, only 10 thousand licenses will be valid. This system will be applicable to those drivers who have H2-A, H-2B or E-2 visa. Among these, H2-A is for temporary agricultural workers. H-2B is for temporary non-agricultural workers. E-2 is for those who make substantial investments in American businesses. The new rules will not apply to existing drivers, they can keep this license till it is renewed.

The longest shutdown going on in America has ended. The Senate-backed bill to end the longest shutdown in American history was approved by the House, after which it was sent to US President Donald Trump for signature. Trump signed this bill.

Nearly all Republicans and some Democrats voted in favor of the bill to end the shutdown. The voting figure to pass it was 222-209. President Donald Trump said regarding the bill, ‘I am always ready to work with anyone, even the other party. We will work on some issue related to health care and we will forget this madness of Obamacare.

Trump blamed the Democratic Party for the cancellation and delay of 20,000 flights. He said that more than 10 lakh government employees were deprived of their salaries, food stamp benefits were stopped for millions of Americans.

He further said that it is an honor to sign this incredible bill and get our country working again. Now all government work will start again. However, it may take some time for the situation to return to normal. There was a significant impact on air services during the shutdown. However, even after the shutdown ends, service will not return to normal immediately; It may take some time. According to American media, more than 900 flights were canceled in America today.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said in his speech in the House before the vote, ‘They knew it would hurt, but they did it anyway. This entire process was in vain. It was wrong and cruel. The federal funding bill will provide financial support to most government agencies through January 30. This bill will provide full funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNP) for the remainder of the fiscal year. This will fully fund child nutrition programs, including free and reduced-cost school meals.

Earlier, during the shutdown, the Trump government had stopped half the amount of food provided to the poor living in America. However, the lower court had removed this ban and ordered immediate release of funds, after which the government moved towards the Supreme Court. Then the Supreme Court also temporarily approved Trump’s decision.

SNAP is run for poor people in America. About one in eight Americans who are from low-income families receives assistance under this program. SNAP is America’s largest food assistance program, helping about 42 million people buy food. Most of these beneficiaries live at or below the poverty line.

The Supreme Court has approved President Donald Trump’s policy regarding third gender in America. Now there will be no third gender option on American passport. Only male and female options will be available on the passport.

The US Supreme Court said in its order that now by looking at the information on the US passport, people will be able to identify the same gender which was recorded at the time of their birth. However, three liberal judges have objected to this decision of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court says that showing the sex at birth on the passport is in no way a violation of the right to equality. This is like showing the birthplace of the country. It’s just sharing facts. During the beginning of his second term, US President Donald Trump had ordered the State Department to change the passport rules in January this year. According to the President’s order, only two genders will be recognized on the basis of America’s birth certificate. Earlier, the lower court had ordered the removal of this order of the US Justice Department, after which the Trump government had approached the Supreme Court.

Showing gender on passports started in America in 1970. Then in 1990, permission was given to change gender on the basis of medical certificate. Making changes in 2021, the former Biden government had given the right to choose one’s gender without any medical certificate.

Earlier, some changes were also made regarding third gender in US Army recruitment. Information regarding this was also shared on the US Army’s X handle. Under this, people of third gender will not be able to join the American Army.

Information was given by the US Army on social media platform X. The US military will no longer allow transgender individuals to join the military and will stop facilitating gender transition procedures for service members. All new admissions for persons with a history of gender dysphoria have been stopped with immediate effect.

The post further read that all unscheduled, scheduled or planned medical procedures related to confirmation or facilitation of gender transition for service members have also been stopped. Individuals suffering from gender dysphoria have volunteered to serve our country and will be treated with respect and dignity. Gender dysphoria is a psychological condition. In this, a person faces problems due to lack of similarity in biological gender and gender identity.

US President Donald Trump indicated on Sunday (October 19, 2025) that his government may reconsider the tariff policy if China takes some positive steps in favor of America. This statement has come at a time when just a few days ago the Trump administration had announced to increase the duty on goods imported from China by 100 percent and implement software export control from November 1.

Trump told the media that relations between him and Chinese President Xi Jinping are better than normal. He said that differences exist between the two countries, but if Beijing does something good for America then reduction in tariffs is possible. According to Trump, this is no longer a one-way street. We will protect our interests but there is scope for agreement if China cooperates.

Tension rising again in trade war

After the peace of the last few months, the US-China trade war seems to be intensifying once again. Washington has recently tightened export controls on technology products and is preparing to impose additional duties on Chinese ships in US ports. In response, China has imposed strict rules on the export of rare earth minerals and other strategic materials.

Preparation for new negotiations and possible agreement

US Treasury Secretary Scott Besant has confirmed that representatives of the two countries will hold new trade talks in Malaysia this week. This meeting is being seen as an attempt to improve relations after Trump’s recent statements and the canceled meeting with Xi Jinping. Beijing has also indicated that it is ready for a new round of talks amid the tariff dispute.

WTO’s warning – threat to the global economy

World Trade Organization (WTO) Director General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has warned that the ongoing trade conflict between America and China could cause huge damage to the global economy. He said that if this tension continues, there could be a decline of about 7% in world production. According to him, the US-China trade tension is not only bilateral but will affect the entire world economy.

What is Trump’s strategy?

Experts believe that this policy of Trump is part of his “Deal Diplomacy”. They first take tough steps, then open the way for talks so that political and technical concessions can be achieved. The Trump administration’s tariff policy has also affected the US technology sector, especially the semiconductor and software industries, which consider China a major market.

Seeing the range of India’s missile testing, America along with China and Pakistan are in shock. After China, now America has sent its reconnaissance warship Ocean Titan to the Indian Ocean. Actually, DRDO is going to test the missile with a range of 3,550 km in the Bay of Bengal between 15-17 October. In recent times, Ocean Titan was seen in Male, the capital of Maldives.

India has increased the range of this missile thrice in three days. Along with Ocean Titan, China’s Yuan Wang-5 is also going to cross the Malacca Strait and reach the Indian Ocean so that this missile of India can be monitored. China also keeps an eye on India’s missile testing from Male.

What are the specialties of Chinese and American spy warships?

It is an important part of the Chinese Yuan Wang 5 missile and satellite tracking system and is capable of tracking rockets, satellites as well as ballistic missiles. It was inducted into the Chinese Navy in 2007 and operates in international waters. America’s Ocean Titan is a research vessel developed in 1989, which is equipped with diesel-electric engines and survey equipment. It is believed that America is using it for maritime surveillance and intelligence gathering.

India had issued NOTAM

India had issued NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) and Maritime Security Notification declaring the area over the Bay of Bengal as a danger zone from 15 to 17 October. India has declared a radius of 3550 kilometers as ‘No Fly Zone’, which means that planes will not be able to fly from this area at the scheduled time, after which it is being speculated that India may once again test a long-range missile.

Experts say that India issues such NOTAMs regularly to ensure the safety of air and sea traffic. These steps are in accordance with international security standards and are taken before the joint operation of DRDO and Strategic Forces Command (SFC).

US President Donald Trump is trapped in the weaving woven by Turk’s President Erdogan. European country Spain has canceled the deal with the US 5th generation fighter Jet F-35, while now he is showing interest in Turk’s fighter jet kaan. Spain took this decision at a time when many countries, including Canada, Portugal and Switzerland, are re-considering the Deal of F-35.

The countries that had deals with the US for F-35 are thinking about it again due to the accidents in recent months. One of these countries is Spain, which has canceled the deal with the Stealth Fighter Jet F-35. The reasons behind this include tariffs imposed by the US, U-turn on Ukraine, reducing dependence on America on Europe’s defense.
Spain was eyeing Eurofighter

In 2023, Spain had set 6.25 billion euros i.e. about 7.24 billion dollars to buy new fighter jets from its budget. At that time Spain had talked about choosing between Europe Eurofighter Typhoon and Future Combat Air System (FCAS). Let us know that FCAS is a joint program of France, Germany and Spain, which is the 6th generation fighter jet. The Ministry of Defense of Spain had said that Spain is included in Eurofighter and future FCAS.

Why did Spain focus on 5th generation fighter jet?

Why is Spain who is involved in the sixth generation fighter jet program is now focusing on the 5th generation fighter jet. Actually, the construction of the sixth generation fighter jet FCAS will start by the year 2040. Dassault Aviation, a French company involved in this program, is creating controversy, due to which the plan is being delayed. Therefore, the focus of Spain is currently on the 5th generation fighter jet. That is why he had earlier shown interest in F-35, but now he is considering dealing for Turki Kaan.

Erdogan himself wants F-35 fighter jet

Erdogan is circling America for the same F-35, which has tricked Spain with the fighter jet F-35, which has tricked Spain with the Fighter Jet F-35. In fact, the US had separated the Turkas from F-35 as it bought Russia’s S-400 air defense system. Such reports were also revealed that the Turki had also appealed to Russia to withdraw S-400, so that it could achieve F-35 from America.

President Donald Trump’s reaction has come on the head cutting of Indian citizen Chandra Nagmallaiya in Dallas, USA. Trump promised to run a ‘first class case’ against the accused and punish the accused to the entire extent of the law. He also resolved to make America again safe and said that his administration will not be soft towards illegal immigrant criminals.

Trump criticized the policies of the Biden government

Donald Trump described the attacker on the social media platform Truth as an illegal immigrant. He said that he should have removed the country. Trump blamed Biden’s liberal policies for not doing this. During this, he strongly criticized the immigration policy made during the tenure of the Biden government. He said that no softening will be made towards these illegal immigrant criminals.

Why did Kobos kill Nagmallaiya?

According to the Dallas police, Chandra Nagmallaiya, originally from Karnataka state of India, was murdered by his colleague Yordanis Kobos-Martinez (37). There was a dispute between the two about the poor washing machine. Cobos allegedly lost his temper when Nagmallaiya asked another person to give his instructions instead of talking directly to him.

Nagmallaiya was killed on 10 September

On September 10, there was a dispute over the washing machine in ‘Downtown Suites’ Motal in Dallas, Texas, after which Kobos was so enraged that he chased Nagmallaiya with a knife and then separated his head in front of his wife and son. The killer also used to work in the same motal. The police have arrested Kobos with criminal history.

CCTV footage of incident viral

The CCTV footage of the incident also went viral, in which Kobos was seen taking out a knife and attacking Nagmallaiya. US immigration officials confirmed that Cobos was also detained earlier, but was released in January 2025 after Cuba refused to accept his exile.
