US H1B visa system in for overhaul; Donald Trump order has implications for Indian IT firms: Nomura
April 24, 2017
- President Trump signed an executive order last Tuesday that would tighten rules that award visas to skilled foreign workers and directs the federal government to enforce rules that bar foreign contractors from bidding on federal projects.
- The order is a first effort to promote a “Buy American, Hire American” agenda, a key promise Trump made during the poll campaign.
- The order calls for enforcing guest worker programmes more aggressively in a way that they don’t become a means for replacing or undercutting American labour at less cost and taking action to crack down on fraud and abuse of the visa programmes.
