The process of filing petitions for H-1B visa begins today, amidst unprecedented scrutiny by the Donald Trump Administration. 

A strong indication is coming from US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency which is responsible to process the visas, that there will be zero tolerance by it for even minor errors.

H-1B is considered as



the most sought-after work visa among highly-skilled Indian professionals. It is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.
