US Vice President Vance warns firms over H-1B hiring; Labour Dept probe may impact Indian workers
US Vice President JD Vance has warned companies against misusing the H-1B visa programme to replace American workers. The warning comes as the US Labor Department widens a probe into alleged H-1B fraud, sham jobs and worker exploitation. With tougher scrutiny and new restrictions, the changes could have implications for Indian professionals, who account for a large share of H-1B beneficiaries.
