Changes in Issuing H-1B Visas to Affect Indian IT Firms
As reported by The Indian Express:
The proposed changes in the issuing of H-1B visas, the highly sought after US work permits, will badly affect the Indian IT firms which depend heavily on these work visas.
Rajiv Khanna, Judi and Anna worked with my employer on my H1 work permit. They were extremely diligent and thorough with their paper work. They guided us step by step through the process. They were extremely patient and were always there to answer any queries. I would recommend this firm to any individual or a firm to handle their immigration tasks. Great job guys! Thanks
