US' new H-1B order based on misinformation: Nasscom

Industry body Nasscom on Tuesday said US President Donald Trump's executive order against hiring H-1B visa holders for federal contracts "appears to have been made based on misperceptions, and misinformation". In a statement, Nasscom said that as the world opens up post COVID-19 pandemic-induced lockdowns, it is important for the US to be able to access talent critical to the recovery phase.
