Jaishankar with his counterpart during his recent visit to US, the situation has started improving. In a recent information released by US ambassy in India, more than one lac appointments of H and L workers has been recently released and with this waiting time for US visas will drastically come down for the Indians.""The Indian professionals are in great demand amongst the US Companies because they have excelled in the field of STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)," added Sandhu.He further said that, "Young universities like Chandigarh University should create specialised domains such as space technology, information technology, agriculture, mathematics and other areas where the expertise of Indians have been acknowledged at global level.
