Trump becomes president..!! nri IT workers in deep distress..!?

With donald trump set to take office as the US President today, foreign workers working in the country, especially indian workers working on H1B visas, are in deep distress. Fears are increasing day by day as the Trump-led government is expected to bring changes in US immigration policies, especially in policies related to H1-B visas and green cards, to give priority to Americans. While there has been concern among indian IT professionals working in the US for the past month, leading indian IT services companies like Infosys and HCL are not going to rely on H1B visas. Similarly, it has also decided to hire more local employees in the US in the coming period.
These two major changes and expectations have reduced the future prospects for less experienced to mid-level IT-tech workers. Not only this, but employees in this category have started leaving the US and looking for jobs in other countries, including Europe. Puneet Malhotra, a partner at executive search firm Hedrick & Struggles, confirmed the uncertainty surrounding the H1-B visa. However, he stressed that it is not easy for a US company to immediately replace skilled foreign workers.

Neethi Sharma, CEO of TeamLease Digital, said that the tech and IT sector is very important to the US economy, and the sector is heavily dependent on skilled foreign workers. While these policy changes are necessary in the long term, he believes that a mass exodus of indian IT professionals is unlikely. donald trump is set to be sworn in as the President of the united states today, and all the world's major leaders and businessmen have been invited. The inauguration ceremony, which was held on a grand scale, has been specially funded by America's leading billionaires. trump is scheduled to be sworn in on monday at 9:00 - 10:30 pm indian time, and it has been reported that he will sign more than 100 orders on his first day in the White House.
