    Infosys given a clean-chit by US Labor Department
  • Infosys was cleared by the US Department of Labor (DOL) of charges of visa violations

    DOL stated that Infosys had fully cooperated in its investigation where over 145 files were reviewed.

  • 50% of US firms exploit the visa norms by hiring H-1B visa holders at a nominal pay, rather than Americans.

    Obama is prepared to raise the present 65,000 H-1B visas to 155,000 (foreign nationals) for those who have received Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) degrees.

    However, the Congress has asserted that issuing more H-1Bs will make things harder on the U.S. workers.
