India will protest if Indian professionals are adversely affected by any H-1B changes said an official of the Government of India. We are keeping a close eye if the US publishes a list of credentials for determining the preferred skills. This is for workers who file an application for the provisional Work Visas, said the officer. We will object if it is tied with obtaining an advanced degree in the US, added the official.
The US
Government has so far not intimated us regarding the proposals to reverse the
selection process for H-1B Visas said the official. This is for offering first
preference to Masters or higher degree holders in the US. Nevertheless, we are keeping a close eye on the H-1B
changes. We will raise objections in
case the allocation for Indian professionals is affected, added the
Government of India official.
The changes for
the lottery for H-1B Visas were announced by the Department for Homeland Securities in the US in January this year.
It declared the reversal in the selection order, as quoted by the Hindu
Businessline. DHS added that it also intends to alter the definition of
specialty jobs.
We do not have
the data of the number of advanced US degree holders applying for Work Visas
said the officer. The % of the H-1B allocation filled up by them is also yet to
be known. However, both NASSCOM and
Government of India are now finding out about this, added the official.
The US
Government has been discussing a lot of H-1B changes said the Indian Government
official. However, nothing has been
implemented till date by them that would affect the Indian professionals,
added the officer.
