US Guest Worker Visa

The US Chambers of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), and a few different associations have filed a lawsuit against the federal government. Declaring that ongoing H1B regulations will sabotage high skilled immigration into the United States.

Early this month, in its interim final rule, the DHS declared to narrow the meaning of “specialty occupation“. As Congress planned by closing the overbroad definition that permitted organizations to game the system.

Also, it expects organizations to make “genuine” offers to real employees,” by closing loopholes and controlling the displacement of the American worker. Lastly, the new rules would improve the department’s ability to implement compliance. Through worksite inspections and monitor compliance previously, during, and after an H1B petition approved.

Filed on Monday in the Northern District of Columbia, the claim alleges that “harmful and haphazard rules on H1B visas”. Whenever left in place, would affect countless American-based workers and disturb manufacturers’ capacity to employ and maintain critical high-skilled talent.

However, “The rules will be executed by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Labor undermine high-skilled immigration in the US. And an organization’s capacity to maintain and recruit the very best talent” said US Chamber CEO, Thomas J Donohue.

In case if the rules are permitted to stand, then they will devastate organizations across different industries, he stated. Adding that these measures will discourage investment, reduce financial growth, and hinder job creation in the US.

The H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that permits US organizations to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. It is generally searched after among Indian IT professionals.

“We need high-skilled innovators now like never before, and the administration’s endeavor to rush these guidelines. Forward without properly thinking about their effect on a huge number of individuals on the front lines of developing vaccines. Additionally, treatments and making critical supplies, just as saving lives in our clinics. It could have devastating results at a crucial point in our history,”. Said NAM senior vice president and general advice, Linda Kelly.

Modifying laws through a “dark of-night-style” rulemaking leads to hazardous policy results. Also, this pair of interim final rules is an illegal try to destroy lawful immigration by rendering the H1B visa program. Unworkable for a huge number of American-based workers who are essential to the recovery and renewal of the industry and the economy, Kelly said.
