Te trump administration has no plan to cap h-1b work visas for nations that force foreign to store data locally, the state department said on Thursday.
There is no country-specific limit on 85000 h-1b work visa the united states issues every year and an estimated 70% of them go to Indians. It is completely separate from ongoing discussion with India about the importance of ensuring the free flow of data across borders.
