Washington: A bill backing key changes in the H-1B programme, which allows skilled workers from countries like India to fill high tech jobs in the US, has been reintroduced in the US Congress by two lawmakers who claim that it will help crackdown on the work visa abuse.
The 'Protect and Grow American Jobs Act', which makes important changes to the eligibility requirements for H-1B visa exemptions, was reintroduced on Wednesday by Republican Darrell Issa and Scott Peters - both from California.
The bill, among other things, proposes to increase the minimum salary of H-1B visa holders to $100,000 per annum (from $60,000 per year currently) and eliminate the Master's Degree exemption.
