US Govt Bans These Indian IT Firms From Applying For H1B Visa – Checkout The List

Everyday you hear news of how it is becoming more and more difficult to enter the States. This trend is showing no signs of relief, thanks to the Trump govt. Not just this, the H-1B rejection rates for Indian companies are in serious trouble too.

Not only have the Trump govt been partial towards American companies over Indian IT firms, a new study has revealed that the denial rate of H-1B visas have touched 24% in the third quarter of the current fiscal year, from 6% in FY2015.

Many IT Companies Disqualified From Applying for H-1B Visa

Not only has the US govt reduced the acceptance of H-1B visas for foreign companies, it has gone a step forward, with the US Department of Labor recently revealing the firms that have been disqualified from applying for H-1B visas.

• Azimetry Inc.
• Bulmen Consultant Group Inc.
• Business Reporting Management Services Inc.

and more.

However, the rejection rate is recorded highest among the major Indian IT companies. For ‘continuing employment’, there was a 12% rise in declination of H-1B petitions, which was 4 times more as compared to FY2015, when the denial rate was only 3%.
