H-1B visas: India ‘closely engaged’ with US govt: V.K. Singh

Live Mint  

New Delhi: The government on Wednesday said it was “closely engaged” with the US on all issues relating to the movement of Indian professionals, including under the H-1B visa programme, and had emphasised to that country that this was a mutually-beneficial partnership which should be nurtured. Asked whether there had been any major change in the H1-B visa policy by the US and whether the government was keeping a close eye on the issue, Singh said, “Government of India has closely engaged with the US Administration and the Congress on all issues relating to movement of Indian professionals, including under the H-1B visa programme. He said that on the executive side, on 18 April 2017, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order titled ‘Buy American and Hire American’, which required different arms of the US administration to suggest reforms to the H-1B visa programme. Responding to another question on whether the government was aware that there were a large number of Indian green card applicants and whether the US government was putting restrictions on issuing of green cards to foreign nationals, Singh said green cards given to Indians nationals in FY 2016 was 64,687.
