Big blow to Indian techies! US proposes to scrap computerised lottery system for H-1B visas
In what comes as a major blow for Indian technology professionals in the United States, the Trump administration has proposed to scrap the computerised lottery system to grant H-1B work visas and replace it with a wage-level-based selection process, a move that is expected to counter the downward pressure on the wages of US workers.
Stakeholders have 30 days to respond to the notification, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Wednesday. Source - Reuters.
