H1 B Visas For Us

The Trump administration has relaxed some rules for H-1B visas allowing visa holders to enter the US if they return to the same jobs they had before the visa ban. The US Department of State advisory said dependents, or spouses and children, would also be allowed to travel with the visa holders.

At a time when the US move to limit H1-B visas has left major tech companies perturbed, seriously affect their ability to get and retain talented staff, Indian tech firm HCL has managed to secure 5,085 foreign labour certifications for the H-1B work visas, making it to the list of top 10 firms that have received the certification.

The final rule reverses the order by which US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) selects H-1B petitions under the regular cap and the advanced degree exemption.

Congress president Rahul Gandhi described the proposed US visa rules as a "huge setback" for India, and in a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi said there were "some things a hug can buy", but for visas "you're on your own".

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said it has reached the Congressionally-mandated 65,000 H-1B visa cap for fiscal year 2019 and would conduct a lottery to decide successful applicants for the work visa popular among Indian IT professionals.

As per a New York Times report, the US Department of Labour has opened the investigation against TCS and Infosys.
