Nasscom expresses concerns on section of proposed H-1B visa modernisation programme

Nasscom has expressed concerns on some section of proposed H-1B visa modernisation programme that the US Department of Homeland Security is planning. The proposed rule is currently open for a 60-day comment period and Nasscom will be making a formal submission and has already begun a thorough industry assessment of the proposed rule.

The IT industry body said that sections of the proposed rule align with the former administration’s unsuccessful attempts to limit the H-1B programme in a manner that raises concerns for the IT industry.
