Indian IT companies may have little to worry about H-1B visa says report; suggests these ‘changes’ in the visa programme

The H-1B visas debate has stirred US political circles, dividng President-elect Donald Trump’s MAGA supporters. Among these is Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who has publicly said that he is willing to go to war over these visas. Musk sees keeping the pipeline open for tech and other skilled workers critical for the American economy. For those unaware, H-1B visa programme permits foreign-born computer scientists, engineers and other highly skilled workers to migrate to the United States.

Trump too has thrown his weight behind Musk on the issue. Trump declared that he is a “believer in H-1B” visas, quashing the opposition to the programme for qualified professionals to work in the US.
