Top 10 Companies That Will Be Most Affected By H1-B Visa Rule
These are top 10 companies that will be adversely affected due to US’ new H1-B visa rule.
A legislation was introduced in the US House of Representatives mandating that the minimum salary of H-1B visa holders be doubled to 130,000 US dollars.
If the legislation submitted is passed, it will be very tough for American companies to use H1-B visas to hire foreign workers, including IT professionals from India.
The visa sponsors, that is the employers, are sorted by the number of Labor Condition Application (LCA) submitted. If the Bill gets passed in the US, these are the top 10 Indian companies that will get adversely affected.

'We have over 1,600 engineers in the US and around 65 per cent of them are on H1-B visas.
