It is likely that US President Donald Trump will strangulate work-visa programs by signing a new executive order inclusive of H1B and L1 visas that Indian IT professionals use. This is to be done as a part of large immigration reform, according to a top official from the White House.
It does not only strangulate H-1B and L1 visas but also the inspections will be increased and providing employment authorization cards to spouses towards such work visas will be stopped. This, to be noted, was introduced by the former president Obama.
A few news websites had leaked the news yesterday. Addressing the reporters at the daily news conference, White House Press Secretary Sean Spider said this initiative to strangulate H1Bs and other visas is a huge part of immigration reform effort by Donald Trump.
There is a necessity to note all of the programs such as spousal visas, other types of visas, action on immigration, etc. According to the leaked draft order, Obama’s extension will be reversed in terms of the duration of optional practical training work visas.
