New Delhi: The United States has increased H-1B visas for Indians by 24 per cent between 2010 and 2011.
The US government on Tuesday said that it had increased H-1B visas from 54,111 issued in 2010 to 67,195 in 2011.
In September this year, India had brought America’s attention to the estimates by Indian industry that the uptake of H-1B visa this year had been less than half of the annual prescribed limit, and the rejection rates had gone up.
India had sought an early resolution to the problems being faced in IT industry over H-1B visas in America. The issue was also highlighted at the India-US CEO Forum.
