Well! Here is some news that is sure to cause alarm among the Indians who want to settle in the US. If the US media stories are any indication,then US president Donald Trump is seriously considering stopping the issuance of H1B visa.
This is sure to pour water on the hopes of thousands of Indians who are seeking H1B visas. This new system could come into existence from October 1, when the new financial year begins in the US. If this system comes into force, many Indians would not be able to go to the US and get jobs there. This is likely to hit the software and the BPO industry hard. US officials say that they are also planning to cancel the H2B, J1 and L1 visas. Though the US Chamber of Commerce is opposing this move, Trump believes that this could address the issue of unemployment in the US.
Trump is said to be discussing the issue with senior officials and could soon take a decision on the issue. If and when that happens, several Indians would be affected badly by this.
