Immigration Bill Giving 'Sleepless Nights' To Indian IT
New Delhi: The U.S. Immigration bill, which proposes higher visa fees and enhanced audit by U.S. agencies, is still giving "sleepless nights" and the Indian IT industry needs to keep a watch, Nasscom chief Som Mittal said.
The Bill -- Border Security Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernisation Act 2013 - was passed by the Senate and is yet to be passed by the US House of Representatives.
"We are well-positioned on the Immigration bill ... I think it has some very good provisions like increasing visas ... But this is something I will not sleep with. We still need to work and keep a watch on it," outgoing Nasscom President Som Mittal told PTI.
He added that Indian government and businesses have been engaging with their U.S. counterparts at all possible forums to convey their concerns.
