| A Bill seeking H-1B limits exemption for foreigners with US PhD has been re-introduced in the House of Representatives.

Introduced by Congressmen Erik Paulsen and Mike Quigley, the Stopping Trained in America PhDs from Leaving the Economy (STAPLE) Act, is likely to benefit Indians given that they constitute the largest number of students doing PhD in the US. |
