Visa curbs Eight of the visiting American lawmakers had on Monday held discussions with India’s Commerce and Industry Ministry on issues including the proposed U.S. work visa curbs that could impact the $110 billion Indian IT sector as well as issues concerning intellectual property rights and market access for certain farm products. While India took up its IT sector's concerns on the proposed restrictions on the U.S. non-immigrant visas for foreign skilled workers, the American lawmakers led by Bob Goodlatte, chairman, Judiciary Committee, House of Representatives, raised concerns on IPR issues including the need to strengthen copyright norms and provisions to encourage and protect innovation, sources said.
