India is closely engaged with the US government<\/strong> and other related stakeholders on issues associated with the movement of Indian professionals<\/strong>, the External Affairs Ministry told the Lok Sabha<\/strong> in response to a question on H-1B visa restrictions <\/strong>affecting Indians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent Trump government, through a presidential proclamation, had suspended work visas. Including H-1B visas<\/strong>, restricting entry of non-immigrant workers and their families. Put into effect on 22nd June 2020<\/strong>, the order affected skilled workers like computer programmers<\/strong>. Seasonal workers in the hospitality industry, and students on work-study programs, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order was initially scheduled to be in effect till 31st December 2020<\/strong>, yet was later extended till 31st March 2021<\/strong>. The suspension of H-1B visas had greatly influenced Indian IT professionals<\/strong> who were its greatest beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the Information presented by Muraleedharan<\/strong> showed that Indians got a lot of H-1B visas in 2017, 2018, and 2019. In 2017, of the 179,049 visas issued, Indians bagged 129,097<\/strong>, or 72.1 percent. In 2018, out of 179,660 H-1B visas, 125,528 (69.9 percent<\/strong>) went to Indians. Also, in 2019, from 188,123 visas, 131,549<\/strong> (69.9 percent) were awarded to Indians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muraleedharan, however, explained before the Lok Sabha that the presidential proclamation<\/strong> isn’t explicit to India or some other country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-1B Visa Restrictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On measures to convince the US government<\/strong> to revoke this move, Muraleedharan said that India has raised the issue on various occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Government is closely engaged with the US administration and other relevant stakeholders<\/strong> on issues related to the movement of Indian professionals. Highlighting the significance of individuals to-individuals linkages and the commitment of Indian skilled professionals<\/strong>. To the growth and development of the US economy<\/strong>, particularly in the technology and innovation sector,” the minister expressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Additionally these issues were raised during the India-US Foreign Office Consultations held on 7th July 2020<\/strong>. And the 2+2 India-US Ministerial Dialogue held in New Delhi on 27th October 2020<\/strong>,” he further added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A week ago, the recently-elected Biden government <\/strong>said it will willing to reconsider the objections or adverse decisions to foreign workers on visas. Such as H-1B<\/strong> because of the three policy memos by the Trump govt that presently have been revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS<\/strong>) had declared that “it might reopen and\/or reconsider adverse decisions”. On Form I-129, Petition <\/strong>for a Nonimmigrant Worker<\/strong> made based on the three rescinded policy memos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
