Trump's America-first policy: PM Modi urges US to keep an open mind on H-1B visas

Firstpost  

Modi shared his perspective on areas where both countries can work even more closely, including in facilitating greater people-to-people linkages that have over the years helped contribute to each other’s prosperity. Amid the Trump Administration’s move to curb H-1B visas that will impact India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday pressed the US to have a ‘balanced and farsighted perspective’ on the movement of skilled professionals. Modi’s comments reflected concern that India’s $150 billion IT services industry would suffer if the United States curbs the visas, known as H-1B, it relies on to send its software experts to the United States on project work. The sector, led by Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys Ltd and Wipro Ltd, employs 3.5 million people and is lobbying against proposed US visa curbs - including increases on salaries that H-1B visa holders must earn.
