The Trump government continues to move forward with its <strong>immigration plans<\/strong> which, if executed, would make it challenging to recruit <strong>H-1B workers<\/strong> owing to significant hikes in wages and narrower eligibility standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite courts putting aside the previous <strong>guidelines <\/strong>covering these issues (earlier introduced via a <strong>fast-track mode<\/strong>). The Trump government proposes to once again introduce them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plans that were delivered suggest that the <strong>federal agencies<\/strong> plan to attempt, finalize and implement some of Trump&#8217;s longstanding immigration needs, before the Biden administration is introduced on <strong>20th January 2021. <\/strong>It is hazy whether they would have the option to do as such. <strong>Mitch Wexler<\/strong>, a California-based partner at Fragomen, a worldwide immigration law office, told TOI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of homeland security has on its plan a proposal to change the definition of a <strong>specialty occupation<\/strong>. To increase focus on getting the best and the brightest foreign nationals via the <strong>H-1B program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, it proposes to change the definition of the employer and the <strong>employer-employee relationship<\/strong>. Along with different changes to improve the integrity of the <strong>H-1B non-immigrant program<\/strong>, and to better secure American worker\u2019s wages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center\">Trump Plans To Tighten H-1B Rules <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be reviewed that this proposal was before introduced on<strong> October 8<\/strong> as an interim final rule and was to be effective from <strong>December 7th, 2020. <\/strong>As the process of considering public comments before implementation was not followed. The rule was set aside by a <strong>US district court<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>DHS <\/strong>is probably going to look to remedy this defect by considering the <strong>public comments<\/strong> received after October 8. And then giving the rule as &#8216;last&#8217; in the coming weeks, Wexler said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wexler added that the department of labor\u2019s<strong> interim final rule <\/strong>that significantly hiked wages. With impact from October 8, is also on the regulatory plan, despite being set aside by a <strong>federal district court<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As reported by TOI, based on the <strong>court decisions<\/strong>, a couple of days back, DOL had repealed its interim final rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-right\">[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.h1btransfersusa.com\/blog\/federal-immigration-agencies-release-fall-2020-regulatory-agendas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Federal Immigration Agencies Release Fall 2020 Regulatory Agendas<\/span><\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the <strong>guidelines <\/strong>are expected to be published as final rules shortly. However, it is unclear whether they would become effective before the Biden government is in place. <strong>Litigation <\/strong>would once again follow, once these rules are issued, say<strong> immigration experts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Trump administration figures out how to once again introduce and execute these <strong>two rules<\/strong>. It would significantly affect Indians who establish the largest chunk of beneficiaries of <strong>H-1B visas<\/strong>. The fall plan also proceeds with the plan to revoke the program that allows certain categories of spouses of <strong>H-1B visa holders <\/strong>to apply for employment approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is expected to be published as a &#8216;proposed guideline&#8217; by <strong>December end<\/strong> and all things considered. The <strong>Biden government<\/strong> may not take the new proposal forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>H-1B Rules: With just six weeks left for President-elect Joe Biden to
