Infosys Visa

IT giant Infosys flew back some of its employees and their families who were stranded in the United States due to the coronavirus crisis and visa issues. They were flown back in a chartered flight. 200 people, employees and their families, were flown to Bengaluru, reaching early Monday morning. They will be working from Bengaluru or other locations...

The allegations pertain to the period between 2006 and 2017, when approximately 500 Infosys employees were working in California on Infosys-sponsored B-1 visas rather than H-1B visas, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said.

Top seven Indian IT companies - including TCS, Infosys, Wipro and Tech Mahindra - experienced a whopping 43 per cent drop in their H-1B visa approvals between 2015 and 2017, NFAP said in its report on H-1B work visa.

Based on the H-1B visa data obtained from the US Citizenship and immigration Services (USCIS), the foundation said that the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) received 2,312 H-1B visas in 2017 as against 4,674 in 2015, registering a drop of 51 per cent.

TCS will kick-off the third quarter earnings announcement season on January 11, followed by Infosys a day later.

TCS cites its reliance on foreign guest-worker visas as a defense against the bias claims.

By 12th grade, the Microsoft CEO dreamt of playing cricket for Hyderabad.

IT companies are under pressure to increase shareholder's return amid slowing growth in their core business led by automation and a crackdown on visas in some countries.

Chambers highlighted that employment has to be created in both countries as it is "not a win-lose" situation.

With growing scrutiny by many countries on work visa usage, IT firms like Infosys are hiring locals and investing in foreign markets.

Wipro says more than 3,000 locals joined in fiscal 2017, increasing its total headcount in the US to 14,000.

In a statement, New York Attorney General Eric T Schneiderman on Friday said a $1-million settlement with the Indian IT firm has been reached to conclude the investigation.

IT major Infosys has reached a settlement for USD 1 million with the state of New York in a visa-related case, even though the company maintained it committed no wrongdoings and the probe was centred on alleged paperwork errors.

Vishal Sikka believes that the Indian IT companies need to grab the opportunities provided by new technologies like artificial intelligence in a big way to retain its global leadership edge in this fast changing infotech environment.

The Congress party today asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to get a firm assurance from US President Donald Trump that he would reverse his move to tighten H-1B visa rules. PM Modi will visit the US on June 25, and will meet with Donald Trump the next day.
