Final Hurdles Remain, H-1B Isn't Targeting India, Says US Ambassador Sergio Gor

US Ambassador Sergio Gor stated that final hurdles remain in the H-1B visa reform process and emphasized that the program is not targeting India. His remarks come amid ongoing discussions about changes to the visa system.

Gor addressed concerns that the H-1B program disproportionately affects Indian nationals, asserting that the reforms are not aimed at any specific country. He highlighted the importance of the visa category for skilled workers.

The ambassador did not provide a timeline for when the remaining hurdles might be resolved. The H-1B program has been a key topic in US-India relations, with many Indian professionals relying on it for employment in the United States.

Reform efforts have focused on issues such as wage requirements and lottery systems. Gor's statement suggests that while progress has been made, further negotiations are needed to finalize changes.
