NEW DELHI: Amid the US plan to scrap a rule allowing spouses of H-1B visa holdersto work legally in the country, external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj on Monday said the government would make all efforts to persuade the Trump administration against such a move.

The Trump administration is planning to end the Obama-era rule under which spouses of H1-B visa holders are given work permit or H-4 visa, a move that could affect more than 70,000 such visa holders. A significantly large number of these H-4 visa holders are high-skilled professionals from India.

Addressing her annual press conference, Swaraj, when asked about the US plan, said it was true that President Donald Trump was reviewing the H-4 visa programmeand there were reports of its possible revocation.

"This is not just for H-4, I am also talking of H1-B visa as well. We are making a three-pronged effort to save these visas. We are talking to the White House, we are talking to state adminstration, and we are also talking to Congressmen and Senators," Swaraj said.
