A Trump-era regulation calling to end the lottery-based system<\/strong> of allocating H-1B visas in favor of a wage-based visa selection<\/strong> system will make it harder for international students<\/strong> to obtain a work permit in the US, as indicated by new research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysis by the National Foundation for American Policy, a non-partisan policy research organization, found that international students <\/strong>might be 54%<\/strong> more likely to get an H-1B petition<\/strong> under the current lottery system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new guideline calls to grant H-1B visas <\/strong>from the highest to lowest salary levels. Making it harder to work in the country after graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The rule would give a disincentive to study in the United States<\/strong>. At a time when new enrolment of international students has fallen significantly at US colleges,” said Stuart Anderson, executive director, NFAP. “The Biden government postponed implementation <\/strong>of the rule. However, has flagged support for a regulatory change that would award petitions based on salary level<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Selecting H-1B petitions<\/strong> by salary level would support those with the most experienced in the labor market<\/strong>. Over those with the least experience, something not present under the current lottery system,<\/strong>” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analysis depends on actual cases of ongoing international students and filings for H-1B petitions received from an immigration law firm<\/strong>. The information demonstrates the new guideline.<\/strong> It would have a significant negative effect on the ability of international students to get an H-1B petition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In February, the Biden government said it was delaying the effective date of the rule to 31st December 2021<\/strong>. To give the USCIS time to create and test the systems needed to implement this change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Indians account for more than 70%<\/strong> of the total new H-1B visas gave every year. A few of whom are students, who after graduating work on an OPT (optional practical training) before applying for an H-1B work visa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research said that the change would also make it harder for physicists, microbiologists, and medical scientists (among others). To acquire H-1B petition since their wages are nearer to the last two levels of the recommended H-1B wage levels.<\/strong> Schools as well would be not able to recruit teachers on H-1B petitions <\/strong>in middle school or high school. Since around 90% are paid at Level 1 or Level 2.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019-20, there was a 4%<\/strong> drop in the total number of Indians enrolled in the US at 13,511<\/strong>. As per the yearly Open Doors Report on the International Student Exchange. A total of 193,124 students <\/strong>from India went to US colleges and universities in 2019-20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced a 72%<\/strong> drop in new international student enrolment in the calendar year 2020 because of the pandemic<\/strong>. This rule would make it more challenging for universities to regain international students once things stabilize.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
