Secondly, the bill proposes new restrictions on client site placement for L-1 workers.

As a result of this an Indian IT Company would not be able to place L-1 workers (whether specialized or managerial) at client sites (the US company) unless the company supervised and controlled those workers and the parent US company attests that for 90 days before and after the L-1 petition filing it had not laid off any employees in the same area performing similar job duties.

Third, the bill places limit on total percentage of H-1B and L-1 Workers.

Under this the immigration bill would impose a hard limit on the percentage of H-1B and L-1 workers that could make up a company's workforce in the US.

Being enforced in three phases, the limits would be no more than 75 per cent from October 1, 2014 to September 30, 2015; no more than 65 per cent from October 1, 2015, to September 30, 2016, and no more than 50 per cent from October 1, 2016 onwards.

The US India Business Council and Confederation of Indian Industry have already opposed such a move and said that this is against the spirit of India-US strategic relationship.
