Rosanna Berardi, Managing Partner of Berardi Immigration Law, was recently featured on Firstpost’s Spotlight, discussing whether the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown will hit H-1B holders and Indian applicants especially hard.
In the interview, Trump Immigration Crackdown To Hit Indian Applicants Hard? | H-1B | Explained, Rosanna walked through what’s actually changing for green card holders, work permit holders, and naturalized citizens, and why the administration’s messaging matters as much as the policy details themselves.
Rosanna explained the throughline behind the administration’s recent moves:
“This administration wants the entire world to know, doesn’t matter if you’re coming in as a work permit holder, a green card holder, a U.S. citizen, we’re going to make it hard. We’re going to make it difficult. So this recent proposal announcement, even though we don’t have details, is one piece of that puzzle and is demanding more of the applicant.”
She also pushed back on the idea that recent denaturalization headlines signal a broader threat to naturalized citizens, calling it “very difficult” to strip someone of citizenship absent significant fraud or misrepresentation, and describing much of the coverage as a messaging campaign ahead of the midterms rather than a meaningful legal shift. On proposals to test applicants’ “allegiance” beyond the existing civics and English requirements, she was direct: it’s a difficult, subjective standard for any government to administer fairly.
