<h1>US Immigration Bill 2013 Proposes H-1B, L-1 Visa Restrictions, Impacting Indian IT Firms and US-India Economic Ties.</h1> The United States Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernisation Bill, 2013, proposes restrictions on H-1B and L-1 visas, potentially disadvantaging Indian IT companies. These restrictions include higher fees and limitations based on employment models, which could create an unequal playing field. Indian officials have raised concerns at various diplomatic levels, emphasizing that such measures contradict the spirit of US-India strategic partnership and could hinder economic cooperation. The issue has been discussed with US leaders, including the President, to seek a resolution that addresses the concerns of the Indian IT industry.
