Three American lawmakers have introduced H-1B Visa legislation<\/strong> in the House of Representatives that prevents employers from recruiting foreign H-1B workers<\/strong> if they have recently or plan to, furlough their US workers and requires employers to pay their H-1B workers <\/strong>more than their American workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduced by Republican<\/strong> Congressmen Mo Brooks, Matt Gaetz, and Lance Gooden the American Jobs First Act proposes to upgrade the H-1B visa program<\/strong> by making necessary changes in the Immigration and Nationality Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the content of the bill released on Wednesday<\/strong>. A foreign guest worker may not be admitted or given status as an H-1B nonimmigrant <\/strong>in an occupational classification. Unless the petitioner employer has filed with the Secretary of Labor <\/strong>an application. Expressing the employer is offering a yearly payment to the H-1B nonimmigrant that is the greater of the yearly pay that was paid to the US citizen<\/strong> or lawful permanent resident employee who did identical or similar work during the 2 years<\/strong> before the petitioner employer filed such application; or USD 110<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the petitioner’s employer<\/strong> needs to file with the Secretary of Labor an application. Expressing the employer won’t need an H-1B nonimmigrant to pay a penalty for ceasing employment <\/strong>with the petitioner employer before the date agreed to by the H-1B nonimmigrant<\/strong> and the petitioner employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H-1B Visa Legislation Introduced in US Congress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bill<\/strong> has been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.<\/strong> And in addition to the Committee on Education and Labor among other things suspends the F-1 OPT program<\/strong>. Which grants all foreign students extendable work permits<\/strong> and exacerbates the job market competition among American graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It ends the diversity visa lottery program<\/strong>, which the administrators affirmed neglects to serve US interests. By giving 50,000 green cards<\/strong> to foreigners from around the world regardless of their qualifications. Given that the Democrats<\/strong> have a majority in the House of Representatives, the bill has little chance to be passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My American Jobs<\/strong> First Act will bring much-needed change and oversight to the H-1B visa program. To guarantee that US workers <\/strong>are no longer disadvantaged in their own country,” Brooks said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“To end the appeal of cheap foreign labor<\/strong>, the bill will require employers to pay any H-1B workers a minimum amount of USD 110,000<\/strong>,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And to stop American worker<\/strong> replacement, my bill will require organizations seeking for H-1B labor. To not have fired any American workers for at least two years <\/strong>without just cause and commit to not firing any workers without just cause for two years after. Commonsense H-1B reform<\/strong> measures like these. Alongside ending the unfair Optional Practical Training (OPT) <\/strong>and diversity visa lottery programs. All serve to promote American interests when it comes to immigration<\/strong>,” Brooks said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
