Us H 1b Visa Ban

Five powerful Democratic senators on Thursday urged President Joe Biden to rescind his predecessor Donald Trump's ban on some non-immigrant visas, including the H-1B visa which is popular among Indian IT professionals, saying this creates uncertainties for US employers, their foreign-born professional workers and their families.

H-1B visa review concerns are particularly acute in India, where IT firms like Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys Ltd and Wipro Ltd are top beneficiaries of the H-1B visa programme

Three bills have been introduced to the US Congress which reportedly seek to restructure the H-1B visa programme.

More than 15 percent of Facebook's US employees in 2016 used a temporary work visa, giving it a legal classification as a H-1B “dependent” company.
