Washington: Noting that Indians have been benefited most from the H-1B and L1 work visas, a senior US official has said there have been some cases of abuse of these visa categories in India. "Our consulates or the embassy in India had become aware of certain abuses of those categories of visas, and they are taking measures to make sure that those abuses do not continue," Janice Jacobs, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs told reporters. "There's an awful lot of outreach with the business community in India. We have a very good relationship with NASSCOM and other business groups there. I even spoke to them when -- during a recent visit to Delhi," Jacobs said. "Over 50 per cent of the H1-B and L visas that we issue worldwide are issued in India. So those two programs, I think, have really benefited Indian nationals over the years," he said in response to a question.
