Assocham: Raise H-1B visa issue

New Delhi: Assocham on Sunday urged Prime Minister to take up the tightening of H-1B visa rules with US President during their meeting next week. The chamber said that the Prime Minister should push India’s case by highlighting that American corporations enjoy liberal market access in India while repatriating profits back home. In his first visit to the US after the new administration took over, Modi will hold talks with Trump on June 26. “Yes, they do create jobs for Indians, but also repatriate billions of dollars as profits and India is fine with it,” Assocham said.
