US To Ease Visas For Skilled Indian Workers Amid PM Modi’s Visit

The Biden administration will reportedly make it easier for Indians to live and work in the US. The State Department is expected to announce as soon as Thursday that a small number of Indians and other foreign workers on H-1B visas will be able to renew the visas without travelling abroad, as part of a pilot programme.  

An US official said that the State Department already has been working very hard to find creative ways to make changes to things. 

India has long had concerns with the difficulty its citizens face in receiving visas to live in the United States, including technology industry workers. More than 10 million jobs stood open in the United States at the end of April, according to the Labor Department.
