WASHINGTON: Indian Commerce and Industry minister Anand Sharma has drawn the attention of United States towards the recent increment in the rates of visa rejection.
India has asked US to look into the problems faced by its IT industry in obtaining professional visas with reports flowing that there has been an increase in visa rejection rates and complaints that visa interviews had become more like interrogation.
According to an official release at the India-US CEO's forum in Washington, "the minister drew attention to the estimates by the Indian industry that the uptake of H1B visa this year has been less than half of annual prescribed limit, and the rejection rates have gone up."
