H1B Visa Approval Drop 2026: USCIS Scrutiny Hits TCS, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra Staffing Models

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has aggressively ramped up adjudication standards for specialty occupation visas, resulting in a noticeable decline in H-1B approval rates for major Indian IT service providers in FY26. Driven by rigid labor market protection policies and heightened site-visit audits, tech giants like TCS, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra are facing unprecedented hurdles in deploying onsite engineering talent.
