India Rebukes US H-1B Suspension and JD Vance Remarks
India said the move could delay green-card processing for eligible workers and called J.D. Vance’s remarks deeply offensive.
- On Friday, India's Ministry of External Affairs criticized the United States for suspending 8 tech firms from a green card program, labeling Vice President Vance's description of H-1B workers as "foreign indentured servants" as "deeply offensive."
- The U.S. Department of Labor initiated these suspensions amid a broader crackdown on immigration pathways, accusing affected firms of abusing the system to the disadvantage of American workers.
- Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, HCLTech, and Capgemini face the suspension. TCS emphasized hiring local talent across 31 offices in the United States over the next five years.
- Existing H-1B visas remain valid under the suspension, the MEA clarified, though the green card process may delay for eligible employees; Nasscom noted Indian technology companies have reduced H-1B dependence.
- India stated the move does not "advance the shared ambitions of both countries," emphasizing that skilled professionals contribute to U.S. innovation and competitiveness, creating "tremendous mutual benefit" stakeholders should recognize.
