PM Modi Conveys To Obama Indian IT Industry Concerns Over Proposed Visa Law In US Congress

17 December, New Delhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared with US President Barack Obama the concerns of Indian IT industry and professionals on the proposed legislation in the US Congress relating to popular H 1B and L1 visas.

Modi conveyed the concern to Obama when the US President made a telephone call to him yesterday to thank for his leadership and India’s critical role ensuring the climate change summit in Paris.

Indian IT companies in the US may end up paying a special two thousand US dollar fee again on H-1B and L-1 visas to fund a 9/11 health care act, with a group of Congressmen quietly mounting fresh efforts to reimpose it.

The bill has been written in such a way that it would impact only Indian companies.
