IT Industry Welcomes 'Latest Decision' Taken Up by US Government on H-1B/ L-1 Visas - Report
Home > News Shots > Business newsHours after the United States (US) government allowed entry of tech workers in the country, IT Industry body Nasscom welcomed the move to allow technology workers on H-1B/ L-1 visas who provide critical infrastructure services to enter the country.
Nasscom in a statement said, “It will help US businesses to access talent critical to the economic recovery phase in the post-Covid world."
As per The Hindu Business Line report, on October 12, the US government issued a notification that included exceptions for H-1B/ L-1 visa-holders who would be returning to the US in the same position with the same employer and visa classification.
Following which, Nasscom has raised the importance of visa holders working within the tech sector, particularly those who would be returning to the US in the same position with the same employer and visa classification.
"We remain cautiously optimistic – as caveats in the DoS guidance about seniority, unique and significant contributions and/or other factors that go along with the exceptions still allow a lot of leeway in interpretation of the new guidance. The impact can only be gauged in course of time. We believe this is a step in the right direction and encourage the implementing agencies to ensure US businesses’ access to critical talent is not hampered," the statement of Nasscom further added.
