Analysts, experts and officials at Indian IT firms have expressed anxiety in the wake of reports regarding the H1B visa that allows its employees to work in the United States. The US Senate has proposed that the H1B visa be stopped to allow employment of Americans rather than bringing in workers from abroad.
Said J.S. Sathyanarayana, Secretary of the Department of Electronics and Information Technology, ‘Free movement of skilled professionals for temporary work is a trade-related matter and should not be linked to immigration. It is important that trade relations between India and the US align to the long-term strategic agenda that supports growth in both markets.’
