.Refuting the U.S. government's comment on H-1B visa lottery misuse by Indian companies, IT industry body Nasscom on Monday said that only 6 of the top 20 H-1B recipients were Indian. The apex body also said two Indian firms, TCS and Infosys, together received only 7,504 approved H-1B visas in FY 2015; that is about 8.8% of the total approved H-1B visas. "Nasscom would like to clarify on the statements made by the White House on Indian companies getting the lion's share of H-1B visas; and highlight that in FY 2015, only 6 of the top 20 H-1B recipients were Indian companies," Nasscom said in a statement. Last week, a U.S. administration official had said that Indian companies like TCS, Infosys and Cognizant were getting the lion's share of H-1B visas. "...top recipients of the H-1B visa are companies like Tata, Infosys, Cognizant - they will apply for a very large number of visas, more than they get, by putting extra tickets in the lottery raffle, if you will, and then they'll get the lion's share of visas," the official had said. In its statement, Nasscom also said all the Indian IT companies cumulatively accounted for less than 20% of the total approved H-1B visas.
