National Association of Software and Service Companies or Nasscom, India’s technology industry body, has warned of risks to the United States’ long-term talent pipeline due to a shift to the wage-weighted H-1B visa lottery system.
The tech industry body has cautioned that the shift will not only debilitate the talent pool, but also disrupt an already established workforce plan, IANS reported, citing its statement. The new system would introduce uncertainty, and raise compliance-related complexities.
Accordingly, Nasscom has urged for a delay in its rollout till FY28 cap season.
Nasscom said that the proposed rule issued by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) marks a sharp departure from the long-standing neutral lottery system and raises legal, economic, and operational concerns.
