In lieu of claims by US President-elect Donald Trump that the H1-B visa program is being used to undercut American workers, two US Congressmen have reintroduced a bill backing key changes that allows skilled workers from other countries to fill jobs in the US.

The 'Protect and Grow American Jobs Act', by long-time Republican Congressman Darrell Issa, proposes important changes to the eligibility requirements for H1-B Visa exemptions. The bill was backed by fellow Congressman Scott Peters.

According to Moneycontrol, the bill may give jitters to Indian IT companies.
