India has
disputed measures imposing increased fees on certain categories
of temporary work visas for the United States and limits on
their numbers, the WTO said in a statement.
India said these measures appear inconsistent with commitments
that the United States has made by treating persons from India
working in sectors such as computer services in the United
States less favorably than U.S. persons, it added.
The United States had 10 days to respond to the request, which
will go to the Dispute Settlement Body if India and the United
States cannot come to a satisfactory agreement.
