Indian IT professionals in the US, who lost jobs at companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, are struggling to find new employment within their visa's time limit following termination of their employment.
The Washington Post reports that 200,000 IT workers have been laid off since November, with high numbers in companies such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon.
Industry insiders estimate that 30-40% of the laid-off IT workers are Indian IT professionals on H-1B and L1 visas.
