Trump Administration has no plans to come out with an executive order on H-1B visas. A prominent Indian-American donor and supporter of the US President claimed that there will be a need of more H-1B visas as number of people on H-1B from India is certainly going to increase.<br/><br/>Head of the Republican Hindu Coalition, Chicago-based Shalabh Kumar told reporters that contrary to the reports in the media, there is no executive order being worked upon by the White House on H-1B visa.<br/><br/>For the American economy to grow, IT will have to play an important role and US has huge shortage of IT workers which can be filled up only by Indian IT professionals. The H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US firms to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialised fields. <br/><br/>The technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year. Kumar said, the US Government is currently reviewing the list of countries, and if Pakistan does not start co-operating with the US, there is very high probability of it being included in the list of visa ban countries. Pakistan needs to act against terrorism.
