<h1>India Challenges Increased US Visa Fees Affecting IT Sector at WTO; Discussed at Trade Policy Forum Meeting.</h1> The issue of increased visa fees for the IT industry has been addressed with the U.S. Trade Representative during a Trade Policy Forum meeting in New Delhi. The 2016 Omnibus Spending Bill, signed by the US President, doubled the supplemental visa fees for L-1 and H-1B visas for companies with a workforce comprising 50% or more on these visas. This affects many Indian nationals, who accounted for 69.43% of H-1B visas in 2015. India has raised the matter at the WTO, challenging the US measures on visa fees and numerical commitments, arguing that the law applies uniformly to all companies.
