NEW DELHI : India on Thursday said it had taken note of the changes in immigration laws introduced by the Trump administration in the US and was studying the implications of the changes made.
A person familiar with the development said that the adjustments made in the laws -- to temporarily block some foreigners from permanent residence in the United States to protect American workers during the novel coronavirus pandemic – does not cover non immigrant visa programmes like the H1B that are cornered by Indian IT workers. “What we see is that it does not cover non immigrant visa programme like H1B," the person said adding that such provisions had contributed to innovation and the economy of both countries.
