More H-1B visas are now going to American technology companies and fewer visas are being used by India-based companies, a study of government data for 2017-18 by the research organisation National Foundation for American Policy, has found.
Companies in the US that hire foreign workers on H-1B visas may be blocked from renewing the same, a common occurrence which is undertaken to help the worker stay in the country long enough to obtain a green card.
