German Ambassador to India Dr. Philip Acmanman
US President Donald Trump suddenly announced this week that the H-1B visa would levy a fee of $ 1 million. This visa is very important for foreign professionals working in America, especially technology companies. After this news, Indians working in America became quite disappointed. But Germany has understood this difficulty as a golden opportunity.
German Ambassador to India, Dr. Philip Acmanman, while inviting Indians in clear words, said- “Germany Ready, you come. Stable policies and good opportunities are waiting for you here. ” The ambassador has shared a video on X (first Twitter) and has also given a link, which has necessary information related to migration and job.
Here is my call to all highly skilled Indians.
Germany Stands Out With Its Stable Migration Policies, And With Great Job Opportunities for Indians in it, Management, Science and Tech.

Open invitation to Indians
In the video message, Dr. Ekmanman said, “I appeal to all the high-skilled professionals of India-you can be from the field of IT, Science, Technology or Management-Zarmani can be a great opportunity for you.” Indians working in Germany, on average, earn more than German citizens. This is a clear proof of the hard work, ability and contribution of Indians. Good salary not only appreciates your hard work, but also highlights your contribution to our society and economy.
Germany’s migration policy is reliable
Ambassador Acmanman compared German’s immigration policy to the German car – Tej, Stable and Truly. He says that the policies of Germany do not change suddenly. We do not wander here and there. The policies run in a straight line. We are not afraid of sudden interruption or braking. This stability gives you the confidence of safe and respectable career here. It is clear from this statement that Germany wants to be a place of durable and safe career for a long period of global talent, especially Indian professionals.
America’s new visa fee created a stir
Significantly, the US has made a big change in the H-1B visa policy and fixed the new fee of $ 1 lakh (about 86 lakh rupees). The order came under an executive order signed by the then President Donald Trump on 20 September. Although later the US administration made it clear that this fee would be applicable only to new visa applications, it would not have any effect on the existing visa holders and their renewal. Nevertheless, this decision has run a wave of concern between Indian tech companies and professionals. According to the data present, about 71-72% of the total H-1B visa holders are Indians.
