India to push for H -1B visa relief in US trade talks after Trump’s $100k fee hike
The Indian government plans to widen the ambit of its trade negotiation with the United States by including the services sector as well after President Donald Trump abruptly increased the cost of new H-1B visa applications to $100,000, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.
Commerce minister Piyush Goyal is visiting the US this week primarily to negotiate a trade deal for merchandise goods but Trump’s latest crackdown on immigration has pushed New Delhi to include the H-1B visa restriction, a setback to India’s burgeoning IT sector.
