However, they must carry their registration documents, such as the I-94, visa, employment authorization, or green card, wherever they go. This directive applies not only to workers but also to Indian students, tourists, and those on dependent visas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Indian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/traveldiary\/h-1b-visa-registration-2026-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H-1B visa<\/a> holders documentation rule has become more than just a formality. Failure to show valid documents during a check may lead to serious consequences. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Department_of_Homeland_Security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DHS<\/a> has clearly stated: there will be no exceptions or sanctuary for noncompliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Children_Turning_14_Theres_Another_Rule\"><\/span><strong>Children Turning 14? There\u2019s Another Rule<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s another update that families should take seriously. Under the Indian immigrants&#8217; US fingerprint rule, children of immigrants, including H-1B holders, must re-register and provide fingerprints within 30 days of turning 14. It\u2019s a rule that applies uniformly, regardless of nationality or visa type.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Also Read:\u00a0 <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indianeagle.com\/traveldiary\/h-1b-visa-fy-2026-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">H-1B Visa FY 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stricter_Immigration_Tracking_and_Document_Checks_Under_New_Rule\"><\/span><strong>Stricter Immigration Tracking and Document Checks Under New Rule<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This US new immigration rule comes on the heels of a federal court ruling that allowed the Trump-era proposal to move forward. A key part of that proposal is stricter tracking of immigrants, especially those who entered illegally or overstayed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though the focus is on undocumented immigrants, even those with valid visas can\u2019t be lax. DHS has confirmed that enforcement efforts are being ramped up and documentation checks will become more routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whos_Exempt_from_Re-Registration\"><\/span><strong>Who\u2019s Exempt from Re-Registration?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to immigration experts quoted in a recent Times of India report, individuals who already have legal entry and registration, whether on student, work, or travel visas, do not have to register again. This includes people with border crossing cards, green cards, or the I-94 admission record. But even so, carrying these documents is now non-negotiable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tighter_Enforcement_Brings_New_Responsibilities_for_Indian_Professionals\"><\/span><strong>Tighter Enforcement Brings New Responsibilities for Indian Professionals<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Federal law has always asked immigrants to register, but enforcement was patchy. With the US immigration rule 2025 now in play, that\u2019s no longer the case. The government has made it clear that compliance will be checked and violations won\u2019t be ignored.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Indian professionals in tech, healthcare, education, and other sectors, the new immigration rules for Indians in the US add another layer of responsibility. It\u2019s not about panic; it\u2019s about being prepared and well-informed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Takeaways\"><\/span><strong>Key Takeaways<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US new immigration rule requires all noncitizens 18+ to carry proof of legal status at all times.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indian H-1B visa holders must always keep their documentation on them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Children of immigrants must re-register and submit fingerprints within 30 days after turning 14.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those with valid visas and registrations are not required to re-register, but must still carry proof.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rule is already active and enforcement is expected to be strict.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning to visit, move, or already on an H-1B in the US?
