Trump Administration has taken yet another shocking decision. US Government has temporarily stopped issuing premium H-1B visas from April 3rd, 2017. However, All the applications for premium H-1B visas which were filed before April 3rd will be processed.
The notification clearly mentions suspension is applicable to all the H-1B visas filed on or after April 3rd, 2017. Which means, H-1B Visas for Financial Year 2017-18 won't be processed. This suspension could last for six months.
IT Firms could no more send their Employees to US even in emergency situations after April 3rd this year. This move could affect the Quarterly turnover of all the companies.
Usually, Indian IT Companies ask several employees to work on projects on-site for few months by obtaining the premium H-1B visas. Now, They will be in a big dilemma. The latest development could be part of Trump's H-1B Reforms.
