Indians Denied U.S .L-1 Visa More Than Others: Report
WASHINGTON: Indians are experiencing a significantly higher denial rate of the American non-immigrant L-1 visa as compared to applicants from any other country, a U.S. think-tank has said.
"It appears much of the increase in the denial rate has been focused on Indian nationals. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services denied more new L-1B petitions for Indians in FY 2009 (1,640) than in the previous nine fiscal years combined (1,341 denials FY 2000-2008)," the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) said in its report released yesterday.
L-1B is a non-immigrant visa that allows companies to send employees who have worked abroad for at least a year and possess 'specialised knowledge' to work in the US for up to five years.
In its latest report, NFAP said in fiscal 2009, the denial rate of new L-1B petitions for Indians increased to 22.5 per cent even though there was no change in regulations.
In contrast, for Canada, the UK, China and other countries, the denial rate in FY 2009 ranged from 2.9 to 5.9 per cent for new L-1B petitions.
