Irrespective of who the winner is in the closely-contested US Presidential<\/strong> votings, everyone’s eyes will be on the H-1B visa program<\/strong>. Which has helped a large number of Indians over many years and one of the key factors contributing to individuals to individuals ties that have subsequently shaped political partnership<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In yet another policy stance change on H-1B visa<\/strong> within a half year. The US government announced reported that it was declaring an “interim final rule”. Which will “strengthen” the non-immigrant work visa program<\/strong>. The new guidelines will be effective 60 days<\/strong> from their publication in the Federal Register. The official journal of the US government<\/strong>, much like the Gazette of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It should be seen whether the new rules apply just to new work visas <\/strong>that are given or also to the current visa holders<\/strong>. Until then, the relaxations announced by the Trump government in August would keep on applying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump government’s decision will be closely analyzed if Joe Biden<\/strong> is chosen as the next President. In the most recent announcement on the proposed policy changes, the Department of Homeland Security<\/strong> (DHS) said USCIS would forgo the usual 60-day comment<\/strong>. Also, notice period to \u201cimmediately ensure that employing H-1B workers<\/strong> won’t worsen the economic crisis caused by Covid-19″. The effect that the pandemic was having on the US economy<\/strong> and its domestic workers was an \u201cobvious and compelling fact\u201d which justified the agency giving an interim final rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-1B Visa Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the Department of Homeland Security, whose primary job is to secure the US from the dangers it faces. The H-1B work visa<\/strong> system had, over the years, gone far beyond the mandate for which it was launched, frequently “to the weakness of US workers<\/strong>“. To bring back integrity to the work visa regime, the DHS has announced a few changes. Which would ensure that H-1B petitions<\/strong> are approved only for “qualified beneficiaries and petitioners\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, the US government issues 85,000 H-1B work permits<\/strong> in all. Of these, 65,000<\/strong> are for individuals with specialty occupations. While the rest 20,000<\/strong> are held for those foreign workers who have earned a master’s or higher university degree in the US<\/strong>. Every year, Indians and Indian organizations corner a lot of the H-1B work permits gave every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of April 1, 2020, the USCIS<\/strong> had received about 2.5 lakh H-1B work visa<\/strong> applications, as per official information. Indians had applied for 1.84 lakh<\/strong> or 67%<\/strong> of the total H-1B work visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the DHS has proposed to narrow down the definition of what would constitute a \u201cspecialty occupation<\/strong>\u201d. Almost certainly, the 65,000 visas gave each year would be cut down significantly. The proposed change could also affect global IT organizations<\/strong> that hire H-1B visa workers in large numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as per the leading Washington-based research organization Brookings Institute. The US lost an expected $100 billion<\/strong> because Trump suspended H-1B, L-1 work visas<\/strong> largely used by Indian professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump’s June 22 declaration, which was eventually suspended by a US district court in early October. Banned the entry of H-1B, L-1, and J1 visa holders<\/strong> until the year-end claiming their entry “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-1B and L-1 visas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The non-immigrant visas, (for example, the H-1B and L-1 visas<\/strong>) that were focused on are utilized by organizations. To recruit or transfer high-skilled immigrants<\/strong>. There is overwhelming proof documenting that skilled immigration improves firm results. For example, profits, efficiency, production expansion, innovation, and investment, the study said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump had, while taking charge as president in 2017, implied that the visa regime <\/strong>would be overhauled to ensure that the system was no longer gamed by organizations that continued to pay lesser than the yearly annual salary paid to US laborers<\/strong>, accordingly undermining jobs from them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
