The legislation is expected to face debate in Congress as lawmakers continue broader discussions around immigration policy
Washington
A new legislative proposal in the United States could potentially reshape the immigration landscape for thousands of Indian technology professionals.
The proposed legislation seeks to address concerns surrounding employment visas, particularly the H-1B programme, which is widely used by technology companies to recruit skilled foreign workers.
Indian professionals make up the majority of H-1B visa holders, working in fields such as software engineering, data science and artificial intelligence.
Changes to US visa rules could significantly affect Indian technology professionals
Immigration advocates argue that existing policies have created long waiting periods for permanent residency, leaving many skilled workers in prolonged uncertainty.
Supporters of the new proposal say reforms could improve labour mobility and help US companies retain highly skilled talent in competitive industries.
