Ananya Joshi moved from India to the US in 2022 to pursue a master's degree in biotechnology at Northwestern University. She later joined a cultivated meat startup in Chicago as a scientist and planned to continue working in the US.Joshi had a promise of H-1B sponsorship, but her employer ultimately backed out. Her work option could not be renewed, and her F-1 visa was cut short. In September 2025, President Trump set in motion a change that would throw the H-1B visa application process into disarray.
