The IT giant Infosys has decided that it would not be applying for H-1B visas for its junior employees, due to the change in work visa rules in the United States.
The US will start accepting applications for H-1B work visas for fiscal 2018 from April 3 amid the uncertainties surrounding the visa programme, the most sought after by Indian IT firms and professionals.
An executive at the company told "The company is not applying for visas for employees with under four years of experience. We are talking to clients about offshoring more work to India, and the work done by junior employees can be brought to India."
The problem that this change will be bringing in for the IT industry would be the inability to retain employees offering them onsite in the US. This would lead to more employee turnover.
