Indians love for H-1B visas is never hidden
notwithstanding the allegations of mistreatment meted to the Indian students
pursuing in US institutions. The recent reports of increase of H-1B cap
has again stirred up the interest in realizing the much cherished American
dream.
A report says that US is in plans
to raise the number of H-1B visas to be issued under a immigration plan which
aims at removing the cap on the green card, the move would directly benefit the
high skilled Indian Americans but this move in no way is going to benefit the
Indian companies.
The immigration plan is believed
to open up doors for highly skilled foreign workers allowed into the country
and also help thousands of students
pursuing education from US institutes earn legal status be it science,
technology, engineering or math’s
If every thing goes well, the
passing of the plan by US
congress and senate would let majority of top American technology companies
including Facebook, Google to open gates for high skilled professionals into US
to fill the vacuum created due to non availability of competent professionals
in US.
It is needless to say that the
move would directly benefit immigrants from India
who already form the America’s
largest source of highly skilled professionals. On the other hand some of the
legislations put forth by senators might pour water on enthusiasm exuded by the
Indian companies that pinned hopes on immigration reforms.
Some of the resolutions that are
in pipeline ensures that H-1B employer having a workforce of more than
50 US workers may not find acceptance unless the employers confirms that less
than half of the workforce are H-1B and L visa holders.
The agreement if reached could
pave a way for some of the tech giants like Google, Facebook to hire highly
skilled workers.
