Max H-1B Visas Taken By Wipro, Microsoft, Infosys
,----[ Quote ]
| The U.S. economy is still reeling under the
| impact of recession and even though
| unemployment continues to rise, employers
| have stepped up the hiring of skilled workers
| from abroad, according to data from the U.S.
| Citizenship and Immigration Services. The
| acceleration in recent weeks has put
| companies close to exhausting the 65,000
| visas allotted each year for foreign hires
| under whatâs known as the H-1B program,
| reports Business Week.

| Non U.S. outsourcers still claimed six of the
| top 10 places in fiscal 2009, although the
| numbers were off for the largest operators.
| Indiaâs Infosys Technologies topped the list
| in fiscal 2008, with 4,559 visas, but last
| year got only 440. Wipro was the largest visa
| recipient in 2009, with 1,964, down from
| 2,678 in 2008. Sridhar Ramasubbu, Wiproâs
| Chief Financial Officer for International
| Operations, says that the drop is the result
| of lower demand caused by the recession and
| changes in the companyâs workforce. âWeâre
| now operating in 58 countries,â he says.
