A top Republican Senator<\/strong> has opposed the move of the Biden government to resort to the traditional lottery system to issue H-1B visas<\/strong> to foreign experts, saying it is giving Big Tech<\/strong> contributors the gift of “cheap” foreign labor at the expense of American workers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Biden government on Thursday announced that it is delaying the H-1B policy <\/strong>of the past Trump administration on the allocation of the famous foreign work visas<\/strong> by continuing with the lottery system until 31st December 2021<\/strong>, to give the immigration office more time to develop, test and implement the changes to the registration system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump-era rule was planned to go into effect on 9th March<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Big Tech abuses the H-1B visa program<\/strong> to recruit cheap foreign labor rather than Americans<\/strong>. That isn’t good for American workers. However, the Biden government is allowing organizations to get away with it,\u201d Senator Tom Cotton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa <\/strong>that permits US organizations to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations <\/strong>that require theoretical or technical expertise. Technology companies depend on it to hire a huge number of employees every year<\/strong> from nations like India and China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS<\/strong>) said it would prioritize wages to secure the economic interests of American workers<\/strong>. And better guarantee that the most highly skilled foreign workers benefit from the temporary employment program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden admin’s move to revert to a lottery system for issuing H-1B visas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also, Senator Cotton from Arkansas said that H-1B visas<\/strong> should help fill labor shortages. Not help Big Tech hire foreigners<\/strong> rather than Americans to save money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Biden authorities say reforming the program <\/strong>is excessively hard. In reality, they’re giving Big Tech donors the gift of cheap foreign labor<\/strong>\u2014at the expense of American workers,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The USCIS can give a maximum of 65,000 <\/strong>H-1B visas in a year. It can also give another 20,000 H-1B visas to foreign students.<\/strong> Those who have finished higher studies from a US university in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM<\/strong>) subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[FY 2022 H-1B Cap Initial Registration Period Opens on March 9<\/span><\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Early this week, the Department of Labor<\/strong> also proposed postponing the implementation of its last rule. The name entitled \u201cStrengthening Wage Protections for the Temporary and Permanent Employment of Certain Aliens in the United States.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It changes how the current four-tiered <\/strong>wage structure of the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES<\/strong>) wage survey is calculated for purposes of determining prevailing wages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
