H-1B visa cap removal: What Krishnan’s White House role means for Indians

In a historic move that highlights the increasing influence of Indian-Americans in US politics, President-elect Donald Trump has appointed prominent Indian-American venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan as Senior Policy Advisor for Artificial Intelligence at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Krishnan is expected to play a key role in not only shaping the future of technology but also immigration reform in the US. The appointment comes at a time when the U.S. government is considering a proposal to eliminate the country cap on H-1B visas. This move is expected to significantly increase opportunities for skilled workers from India, especially in fields like technology and engineering.
