India likely to get a blow from ally US

*Washington: India likely to get a blow from ally US as President Trump isexpected to make changes in H1B Visa rules affecting thousands of Indianworkers in US.*

The White House has formally received the proposed changes in the existingregulations to end the work authorisation for certain categories of H-1Bforeign work visas.

The move that would impact over 90,000 spouses of H-1B visa holders, anoverwhelming number of whom are Indians, was sent by the Department ofHomeland Security to the White House Office of management for Budget onWednesday, officials said.

It’s now for the White House to take a final call on it, before a formalregulation in this regard could be issued and the Department of HomelandSecurity can inform a federal court, where a lawsuit on this issue ispending.
