Responding to a long-standing demand of Indian professionals working in the US for a short period, the US has decided to take up the issue of finalizing a tantalization agreement with the Indian Government to ensure that their social security contribution in the US does not go waste. The agreement would ensure that Indians working in the country get the social security benefits that they have paid for in the US in the form of social security tax when they return to India. According to US Under Secretary for International Trade, Franklin Lavin, who was on a visit to New Delhi, the talks are likely to begin soon. His assurance is especially welcomed by software professionals holding H1-B visas who work for a short duration in the US and are hence not able to gain from the social security system. H1-B visa holders are allowed to work in the US for a maximum of six years whereas to get benefits of the US social security system, one has to work in the country for minimum of 10 years.
