Indian Software Firms to Lobby Bush to Increase H1-B Visa Quota
An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
Indian software firms said they would lobby US President George W. Bush during his March visit to double the visa quota for Indian information technology professionals.
India employs 700,000 software professionals, up from 7,000 a decade ago, and many of them work abroad using special visas on contracts won by local technology companies.
The National Association of Software Services Companies (NASSCOM), India's top software lobby, said the annual limit of 65,000 H1-B visas was too low and wants it doubled.
