VISA CURBS WILL HIT INDO-US TRADE
NEW DELHI: Software services industry body Nasscom has said the proposal by a group of 8 US Senators to restrict business and work visa is "discriminatory" and cautioned that such a move will hit the customer sentiment besides impacting the Indo-American trade relations. Stating that the proposal by 'Gang of Eight' is "very strategic" and it is of great importance to India, Nasscom President Som Mittal told PTI: "For me, it is a trade issue and not an immigration issue. Like we have free flow of goods either side, I think it is as important to have free
flow of highly skilled people it is part of the business." "It will be discriminatory and will impact our competitiveness as well as ability to service our customers. We have feasible information that such regulations are being put inside the current draft, which is to be released soon," he said. The US Senators are working on the negotiations for a comprehensive immigration reform, which includes conditions like firms having more than 15 per cent H1B population would be prohibited from placing any H1B visa holder at a client site, sources said.
