TCS is also the only Indian IT company in the top five for continuing-employment approvals, though its rejection rate for extensions increased to 7%, up from 4% in 2024, and significantly higher than its peers. Overall, USCIS recorded a 1.9% rejection rate for continuing-employment petitions. This year, TCS secured 5,293 approvals for continued employment. For initial employment, India’s largest IT services company received 846 approvals, compared with 1,452 in 2024 and 1,174 in 2023, with a 2% rejection rate this year. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
The latest NFAP policy brief highlights a major shift in the H-1B landscape, with Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Google occupying the top four positions for new H-1B approvals for the first time.

Petitions for continuing employment make up the bulk of H-1B filings, and rejection rates remain low for most major IT services firms. Infosys, Wipro, and LTIMindtree reported rejection rates between 1% and 2% for continuing-employment petitions. However, initial-employment denials rose sharply in FY 2025. “These trends indicate that companies are focusing more on keeping their existing employees legally employed. The H-1B program has become more of a holding pattern for workers in the green card queue rather than a mechanism to bring new skilled workers to the US,” said Mansi Singh, Partner at law firm BTG Advaya. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">

Officials who served in the White House during Trump 1.0 traced mutual misgivings to July 22, 2019, when the US president, a novice in issues relating to the subcontinent, told Pakistan’s then Prime Minister Imran Khan during his visit to the White House that he was willing to mediate in the Kashmir issue if both countries agreed, claiming that Modi had asked him to play a role. The remark shocked New Delhi, which said there was no such request from Modi in keeping with India’s long-held stand that it is a bilateral issue that brooks no third-party mediation.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">
According to White House insiders, Trump’s flub came despite a 45-minute briefing by senior officials well-versed in the region in which they explained the intricacies — for which he apparently had no bandwidth. His mediation offer could also have been based on a misunderstanding of a private phone conversation with Modi in which the Indian PM may have suggested he temper Pakistan’s approach to the issue. In either case, Trump was nonplussed why anyone would reject his offer for mediation, the sources said.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">
A rousing visit to India for the Namaste Trump rally, just days before the Covid shutdown, papered over this glitch. The second snafu came in Sept 2024 when Modi was visiting the US to attend the UN General Assembly and the Quad summit hosted by President Biden. Indian interlocutors reached out to Trump, who was campaigning for a second term, to set up a meeting, while also reaching out to his rival Kamala Harris. While Trump readily agreed to see the Indian PM and even announced at a campaign event in Michigan that he was meeting Modi, Harris’ campaign balked.

Still, the two principals appeared to have overcome the wrinkles when Modi became one of the first foreign leaders to meet Trump in the White House after he won a second term, the US president hosting him for a working visit on Feb 13 this year. But by this time Trump had worked himself into a rage over the tariff issue, not just at India (although he had begun to call it the tariff king), but the world at large. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Although officials from both sides put together a grand COMPACT (“Catalysing Opportunities for Military Partnership, Accelerated Commerce &amp; Technology) for the 21st Century”), Trump had little bandwidth for pages and pages of factsheets and joint statements loaded with Modi’s favoured acronyms.

Moreover, when Trump spoke of MAGA, Modi responded that it could co-exist with his own idea of MIGA, aka Viksit Bharat. And then there was the small matter of Elon Musk calling on Modi at Blair House before the Oval Office meeting. By then Trump had begun to sour on Tesla and Apple’s plans in India.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">The fourth episode came during the four-day IndiaPakistan conflict, which Trump fervently believes he brought to an end. While New Delhi says there was no phone conversation between Trump and Modi during the clash, in the US president’s mind he got Vance to make the call (after possibly failing to reach Modi). Modi himself has said he missed several calls from Vance before he could be reached. </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">
Trump’s latest comments — sketchy and disjointed — suggests he talked the Pakistani leadership (not clear who) and warned them they would not get a trade deal if they did not stop the fighting. India says it only responded to the Pakistani overtures for a truce, which New Delhi agreed to. Repudiating his role in dousing a war that he believes would have gone nuclear has clearly miffed Trump, who has been fairly transparent in his quest for a Nobel Peace Prize.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">
The final straw came when Modi declined Trump’s invitation to stop by at the White House, on his way back from the G-7 in Canada, on the same day the US president had invited Pakistan’s de facto military ruler Asim Munir. The Indian side feared a photo-op ambush. By this time, bilateral negotiations on trade were drawing to a conclusion with negotiating teams from both sides so close to a deal that top US officials said it was imminent. But peeved over what he possibly saw as multiple slights, Trump torpedoed it, using India’s Russian oil purchase as a ruse.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc;

The reasons were obvious: Russia was geographically distant and already had established markets where a bulk of its crude was exported. India, on the other hand, depended significantly on West Asian suppliers like Iraq and Saudi Arabia, which are located close by.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">With much of the West shunning Russian crude following the invasion, Russia began offering discounts on its oil to willing buyers. Indian refiners were quick to avail the opportunity, leading to Russia—earlier a peripheral supplier of oil to India—emerging as India’s biggest source of crude within a matter of months, displacing the traditional West Asian suppliers. Russia now accounts for 35-40 per cent of India’s total oil imports by volume. As Europe decided to stop the import of refined petroleum fuels from Russia, Indian refiners increased fuel exports to the continent.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">Besides alleging that India was helping fund the war in Ukraine by buying Russian oil, critics of India’s oil and fuel trade argued that the country’s refiners were facilitating a backdoor entry into Europe for fuels made from Russian crude.

The cap prohibits export of Russian seaborne crude at over $60 per barrel if the trade involves Western shipping or insurance services. Oil importers like India, which are not part of the price cap coalition comprising G7 countries and their allies, are not bound by the price cap as long as their purchase of Russian oil does not involve any shipping or insurance service from providers in the coalition countries.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">In April last year, senior US officials had said at a New Delhi event that the US neither expected India to reduce its oil imports from Russia nor had it even requested it to do so. The then US Treasury Assistant Secretary for Economic Policy Eric Van Nostrand had said that the objective of the sanctions and G7 price cap regime was not to push Russian crude out of the market, but to keep it flowing while limiting the Kremlin’s revenue from oil exports, which in turn impaired Russia’s ability to fund the war in Ukraine.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">“The price cap is designed to leave Russia with only bad options…We want him (Putin) to choose between three bad things: selling with coalition services under the price cap, selling outside the price cap, or shutting his oil in and not putting it to market.

Warm, Then Cold | US did view India favourably around the time it achieved Independence. In 1949, Nehru toured US and met Truman.

Then A JFK High | The big bright spot in Indo-US ties during the Cold War came during the 1962 India-China border war. Nehru wrote to Kennedy asking for support. The latter promptly agreed, recognised the McMahon Line as the border between India and China, and provided air assistance and arms to Indian troops. Washington also messaged Beijing through contacts in Warsaw that it was firmly with New Delhi and would not hesitate to intervene on its behalf.

And A Nixon Low | JFK’s assassination, the 1965 war between India and Pakistan, when US stopped supplying arms to both parties, the Sino-Soviet split in the communist bloc all gave US reasons to work with Pakistan for a modus vivendi with China. New Delhi and Washington drifted apart. The nadir was Nixon’s and Kissinger’s support for Pakistan during the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War.

Nuclear Low | Mrs G decided to go nuclear in 1974. US got mad. It rallied major nuclear suppliers to establish the Nuclear Suppliers Group that imposed highly restrictive safeguards and export controls. It badly hit India’s nuclear programme.

Then A Nuclear High | Early bits of 21st century saw 9/11, American military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, and China joining WTO. America was looking for new friends. Bush took a bet on India. The 123 Agreement in 2005 was a massive moment in bilateral relations.

“Even in Trump 1.0, while there was a political convergence between the two sides, trade was a point of difference. This is because, first, US was no longer willing to give India a pass.

What’s the way forward? Rajiv Dogra, former Indian ambassador to Italy and Romania, believes that things won’t be easy. “Trump’s return to the White House this year was celebrated in India as a victory of one of its own. Therefore, it remains a mystery as to why he has soured on this vital relationship. Is it because Pakistan allures him with false promises? Or is he piqued because India did not propitiate him over his alleged role in bringing about the Indo-Pak ceasefire after Operation Sindoor? Either way Trump has damaged the relationship beyond early repair.” </ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">
KP Fabian, former Indian ambassador to Qatar and Italy, highlights the need for India to adopt a tactical approach. “First, we have to realise that we are dealing with Trump rather than US. Second, it’s apparent that India’s denial of his alleged mediation in facilitating the IndoPak ceasefire peeved him. We perhaps should have adopted a different strategy and thanked him for nudging Pakistan to agree to a ceasefire while skirting the issue of mediation. And third, Trump is big on defence deals. We should subtly let him know that our interest in American platforms may be helped if the announced tariffs are paused.”</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[[Category:Defence|U US- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONS</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">US- INDIA RELATIONS]]</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[[Category:Foreign Relations|H US- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONS</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">US- INDIA RELATIONS]]</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[[Category:India|H US- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONS</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">US- INDIA RELATIONS]]</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[[Category:Pages with broken file links|US- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONS</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">US- INDIA RELATIONS]]</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[[Category:Pakistan|UUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONS</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">US- INDIA RELATIONS]]</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">[[Category:USA|U US- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONSUS- INDIA RELATIONS</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">US- INDIA RELATIONS]]</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>=1971 war=</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>=1971 war=</div></td></tr> </table>
