BENGALURU: Recently, a bipartisan group of two U.S. lawmakers—Bill Pascrell from New Jersey and Dana Rohrabacher from California—introduced the ‘H-1B and L1 Visa Reform Act of 2016’. This bill would prohibit Indian IT companies from hiring H-1B employees if they employ more than 50 people, and if more than 50 percent of their employees are H-1B and L-1 visa holders. There has been a gradual rise in the rejection rate of H-1B visa applications filed by these companies as well. The revenue model of majority of big Indian IT firms is heavily dependent on H-1B and L1 work visas in the U. S., and such a bill is likely to have a major impact. Here is the list of 10 Indian organizations barred from H-1B visa application, reports Times of India.
