Less Focus on H1-B Visas says USA Ambassador - Will it impact on Indian companies?

SIBY HERALD

According to sources new US Ambassador to India Kenneth Juster had said currently the US is undertaking a comprehensive review of its visa policy but it’s not focused on any one country or H-1B visas. Meanwhile, he said as the US administration had not yet announced the policy, he can’t comment on the impact it may have.



Juster whos spoke to the media said the visa policy review was not focused on any country or any particular sort of visa and also did not agree that US stance on H-1B visas was contradictory to its policy to promote innovation.



Currently the Donald Trump administration is tightening rules governing H-1B visas. A Congressional committee this month passed a legislation that proposes to hike the minimum salary of H-1B holders from $60,000 to $90,000. The move is likely to impact Indian IT companies.
