The L1 visa is not subject to numerical or salary restrictions but the bill proposes setting wage requirements for it too.

The Indian IT industry believes the US does not have enough IT talent and needs to bring in workers from India on the work permit. Moreover, it's not a one-way traffic. Indian IT companies also create jobs in US and contribute to the US economy.
