H1B visas may well come up during a conversation between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Donald Trump slated for June, Chandrashekhar said. Zoe Lofgren, a Democratic congresswoman from California, introduced a bill last week to tighten requirements for the H1B work visa programme. The topic may well come up during a conversation between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Trump slated for June, Chandrashekhar said. “We want to help the officials and lawmakers understand the gains for the US economy and the benefits to Americans because of businesses using Indian IT services,” said Chandrashekhar. “It is not merely what appears on the surface, the reality is far more complex than making changes to the 85,000 H1B visa programme.” Bloomberg
