India has pitched for reforms in the H1B/L1 Visa processes and social security contributions with the United States.
The issue was discussed at a meeting between Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and the US Treasury Secretary and the US Commerce Secretary on Thursday.
“The Minister made a strong case for reforms in H1B/L1 visa processes and social security contribution so that high calibre Indian professionals serving American interest are not unfairly deprived of their well-earned money,” said an official release.
The Minister is also understood to have pointed out the contribution skilled Indian professionals have made to the US economy, and stressed that this must be suitably appreciated by the US side.
