अमेरिका में TCS-Infosys समेत 8 टेक कंपनियों पर ग्रीन कार्ड एक्शन, IT जॉब्स और H-1B वीजा पर क्या असर?

SUMMARY
# अमेरिका में TCS-Infosys समेत 8 टेक कंपनियों पर ग्रीन कार्ड एक्शन

अमेरिका ने TCS, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro समेत 8 बड़ी IT कंपनियों पर ग्रीन कार्ड स्पॉन्सरशिप को लेकर कार्रवाई की है। इन कंपनियों पर आरोप है कि ये H-1B वीजा का दुरुपयोग कर सस्ते भारतीय कर्मचारी लाती हैं और अमेरिकी वर्करों को नुकसान पहुंचाती हैं। ट्रंप प्रशासन ने इमिग्रेशन नियम सख्त किए हैं, जिससे ग्रीन कार्ड प्रोसेसिंग कठिन हुई है। इसका सीधा असर भारतीय IT प्रोफेशनल्स पर पड़ेगा जो H-1B वीजा पर अमेरिका में काम करते हैं। कंपनियों की हायरिंग कम हो सकती है और भारतीय टेक वर्करों के लिए अमेरिका में स्थायी निवास पाना और मुश्किल हो जाएगा।
