Information technology (IT) stocks came under pressure after the United States announced that from April 3 it would temporarily suspend the ‘premium processing’ of H-1B visas that allowed some companies to jump the queue as part of its efforts to clear the backlog. The H-1B visas are widely used by Indian IT majors.
