German Ambassador to India Phillip Ackermann said that Germany stands out with its stable migration policies, and with great job opportunities for Indians in IT, management, science and tech
In an apparent dig at the US, German Ambassador to India Philipp Ackermann has called on Indian skilled professionals to consider relocating to Germany, following President Donald Trump’s imposition of a $ 100,000 fee on H-1B visa applications last week.
“Indians are among the top earners in Germany. The average Indian working in Germany earns more than the average German working in Germany. Germany stands out with its stable migration policies, and with great job opportunities for Indians in IT, management, science and tech,” Ambassador Ackermann said.

He added that Germany’s migration policy works like a “German car”, meaning that it’s reliable, modern and predictable. Ackermann further said that Germany “does not change rules fundamentally overnight”, unlike the US, which imposed a whopping $100,000 annual fee on
H-1B visa applications.
The ruling is being seen as a major blow to the US tech industry, which relies heavily on foreign workers from India and China who use this visa to enter and work in the United States.
Here is my call to all highly skilled Indians.
