An Indian-American techie, hailing from Andhra Pradesh and an H-1B visa holder who was sharing videos on a YouTube channel named, Kumar Exclusive which meant to guide clueless youth coming to the United States has recently posted a video saying he quit his job.
Kumar moved to the U.s. but was forced to pack his belongings and return home after not being paid. He started sharing videos almost since four years now that stated on an optimistic note where he chronicled life in the states and as well divulged tips to many.
The Donald Trump administration has been tightening the noose on H-1B visa holders, that lets immigrants stay in America. Trump is as well planning to revoke work status of spouses of H-1B visa holders that are likely to put 1,00,00 people out of jobs. This proposed ban has garnered strong objection from the Indian community.
Kumar’s video ascertains the techies are also facing work woes.

The stricter restrictions have not only hit employees but market too. According to an immigration services provider, 26 percent of employers have had to postpone projects, and 22 percent have relocated work abroad, reducing hiring in the States.
Meanwhile, jobs are left vacant. According to Wall Street Journal, there are 548,000 open tech jobs, but unemployment in the sector hovers below full employment levels.
In the last video he recorded, Kumar showed his belongings stuffed in an SUV, and a road trip he took. The video received an excess of empathetic comments, and there were others who wrote reverting to India was Kumar’s best decision.
But his penchant for making videos hasn’t ended, and he recorded them from his hometown Kakinada in Andhra Pradesh.
