How will Indians be affected if US changes H-1B visa rules?
US companies hire H-1B visa holders in certain specialized professions like engineering and IT at a cheaper cost to gain a competitive advantage. Trump's new bill proposes doubling the minimum pay, making it infeasible for companies to hire H-1B visa holders. Interestingly, Indians received 65% and 72% of H-1B visas issued by the US in 2014 and 2016 respectively.
