In a recent article published by *Hindustan Times*, Jidesh Kumar highlighted the essential role that H-1B visas play in addressing the United States’ growing demand for skilled labour. He emphasized that, “The US economy relies on H-1B visas to address skilled labour shortages, particularly in technology, engineering, and healthcare, where domestic supply is insufficient.”

The demand for skilled professionals in technology, engineering, and healthcare continues to rise, making the H-1B visa program more important than ever.
