Suspension of work visas by US will affect movement of Indian professionals: MEA

“We have seen the Proclamation issued by President Trump on June 22 temporarily suspending entry of certain categories of non-immigrant visa-holders & their family members till December 31, 2020

“This is likely to affect movement of Indian skilled professionals who avail of these non-immigrant visa programmes to work lawfully in the US. We are assessing the impact of the order on Indian nationals and industry in consultation with stakeholders,” he said.

On April 22, President Trump had signed an executive order banning the entry of workers on non-immigrant visas for a period of 60 days.
