a higher education degree or its equivalent.

government-to-government research and development, or co-production
projects administered by the Department of Defence.

for a period of up to seven years.

in the US.
10
• Indians had applied for as many as 1.84 lakh or 67 per cent of
the total H-1B work visas for the current financial year ending
March 2021.
