In my opinion, it won't. The margins will come down on onsite billing. However, in IT, the margins on very high when the work is delivered fromoffshore and typically companies push for 70:30 (offshore : onsite) ratio. Some companies go to the extent of 80:20.
Also when you look at the figures in absolute terms, we are talking about 2000$ in select categories of H1 and L1 visas. When you compare this with the billing that IT companies charge (60-120 USD varies from skill set and company brand name etc), it will have very minimal dent.
However, pure bodyshopping companies could take a hit.. Again..it is only 2000 USD..in over all scheme of things..
