We are doing that and are constantly in touch with those industries,” Sitharaman said during an interactive session with Young Ficci Ladies Organisation Hyderabad Committee members in Hyderabad. The 2018 H1-B visa details have been issued and there is no change in US position and the numbers remain largely the same, she said.
