The current government in the U.S. <\/strong>seems to be determined to make things hard for organizations and immigrants <\/strong>even in the last 20 days in office. Ignoring information related to the unemployment of IT workers<\/strong>, as indicated by reports, President Trump expanded the June 2020<\/strong> travel ban on new H-1B and L-1 workers<\/strong> and the April 2020 ban on almost all permanent immigrant <\/strong>categories. Both these have been extended until 31st March 2021<\/strong>. Once again president trump exerted his powers under section 212(f)<\/strong> of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This as per a few critics is the utilization of a power to further personal ideology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump imposed these bans with a lawsuit <\/strong>to protect American jobs and the extension of the bans is also based on this premise<\/strong>. In any case, there is adequate information to show that the unemployment rate in computer occupations<\/strong> is extremely low. The overall unemployment rate is almost 50%<\/strong> of what it was at the time the bans were given. In the 30 days before the June ban, there were more than 600,000<\/strong> computer-related jobs based on advertising data. Further, incidentally, last week Trump <\/strong>disclosed a few statements. About how well the U.S. economy<\/strong> was doing and the reducing rate of unemployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 1, a U.S. Court<\/strong> excluded serval employers, based on membership of associations, from the June ban. In NAM v. DHS<\/strong>, (the NAM Judgment) any H-1B or L-1 candidate<\/strong> who are either sponsored by, petitioned by, or whose petitioner <\/strong>is an individual from. One of the plaintiffs in the claim is no longer subject to the June ban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The named plaintiffs include the NAM, the U.S. Office of Commerce, the National Retail Federation, TechNet<\/strong>, and Intrax, Inc. The government has appealed this decision and the following hearing is on 19th January 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-1B Ban Extension will impact Indian Tech Workers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the June ban, no new H-1B or L-1 visas<\/strong> could be given except if they were for employers covered by the NAM Judgement<\/strong>. This affected all the FY 2021 H-1B cap recipients<\/strong> who might have started working as early as October 1, 2020. Or soon after once, their petitions were approved and visas were granted. These people might have been granted visas<\/strong> after December 31, 2020, when the June ban<\/strong> lapsed. However, they will now have to wait until the end of March 2021<\/strong> before they can be granted visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-1B workers<\/strong> who were in the U.S. in valid status when the June ban was declared were excluded from the ban and could secure a visa<\/strong>, and most of these people qualified for the dropbox<\/strong>, interview waiver application. However, even for them, it has been a tough period as U.S. offices<\/strong> the world over are not fully functional due to COVID-19<\/strong>. For example in India, visa appointments are not available for several months<\/strong>, even for dropbox applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Trump extends freeze on H-1B, other work visas until March 31; Indian IT Firms to be hi<\/span>t<\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Many expect that soon after the new government accepts power on 20th January 2021<\/strong> the new president will topple the April and June bans<\/strong>. This is not a complex process and can be brought into impact rapidly<\/strong>. However, this author is of the opinion that the new administration<\/strong> will tread cautiously. Overturning these bans <\/strong>may send a wrong message to the American public.<\/strong> One that shows that the new government isn’t aware of unemployment and dangers to American jobs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though there is no basis to show that H-1B<\/strong> or foreign workers directly impact unemployment <\/strong>the perception will be based purely on presidential action. Not many will try to investigate <\/strong>information to decide the veracity of the outgoing administration’s claims <\/strong>about unemployment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
