PM Modi tells Trump administration to have ‘balanced and farsighted’ view on H-1B visa
India TV NewsIn the backdrop of the President Donald Trump's move to curb H1B visas, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has pressed the US to have a 'balanced and farsighted' view on the movement of skilled professionals. The move to curb H1B visas by Trump Administration will hurt India, one of the biggest recipients of the visa for skilled labour, most IT professionals. "In this context, the Prime Minister referred to the role of skilled Indian talent in enriching the American economy and society" and "urged developing a reflective, balanced and farsighted perspective on movement of skilled professionals," the statement said. Soon after taking over last month, Trump had decided to overhaul the work visa programmes like the H-1B and L1, a move that will adversely hit the lifeline of Indian tech firms and professionals in the US.
