Have conveyed our concerns to Trump administration: India on H1B visa issue
India TV NewsWith Indian tech firms and professionals in the US facing the prospect of being adversely hit by President Donald Trump’s new executive order aimed at overhauling H-1B and L1 work visa programmes, the Ministry of External Affairs today said that it has communicated with White House expressing its concerns regarding the same. “India’s interests and concerns have been conveyed both to the US Administration and the US Congress at senior levels,” the MEA said in a statement after IT stocks tanked 9 per cent amid concerns over the visa rules overhaul in the US. The executive order drafted by the Trump Administration not only strangulates H-1B and L1 visas, but also increases inspector raj and ends employment authorisation cards to spouses on such work visas, which was recently introduced by the previous Obama Administration. As per the leaked draft order, Trump would reverse former president Barack Obama's extension of the duration of the optional practical training work visas, which allowed foreign students to stay in the US a bit longer after completion of their studies.
