GTech is set to seek the Centre’s intervention after reported curbs in the U.S. green card process raised concerns for Indian IT firms and their employees.
According to the report, the Ministry of External Affairs has clarified that the suspension of PERM applications does not, by itself, affect the validity of existing H-1B visas or the status of H-1B visa holders and their dependants.
The clarification comes amid worries within the technology sector over the impact of the U.S. move on work visa holders. Further details on the company’s request to the government were not available in the input.
