US proposes not to issue business visa for H-1B specialty occupations

The US State Department has proposed not to issue temporary business visas for H-1B specialty occupations. B-1 visas allowed companies to send technology professionals for a short stay to complete the jobs in the US. The move could impact many Indian companies. The B-1 visa doesn't include procedural requirements to protect the US workers like H-1B visas, the department said.
