Wipro, TCS, Infosys, Microsoft, IBM and Cognizant are the members of Nasscom. The IT Body opined the guidelines issued by USCIS is similar to a memorandum issued in December 2000. It added, It's impossible to scrap H-1B Visa system due to the shortage of highly-skilled Americans. Indian IT Industry gets 60% of the export revenue from US.
