H-1B applications: The Joe Biden government <\/strong>will officially remove a proposed rule which expected to narrow the definition of specialty occupation<\/strong>. Which would restrict who would be eligible to apply for an H-1B work permit<\/strong>. The rule, presented by the past Donald Trump government had not been implemented as it had been vacated by a US court in December<\/strong> last year. A final rule with this impact will be issued in the Federal Register <\/strong>on Wednesday. This rule removes the interim final rule (IFR), Strengthening the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program<\/strong>, from the Code of Federal Regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IFR, issued in October 2020<\/strong>, called to bring about changes in the definitions of a third-party worksite<\/strong>, employer-employee relationship, and specialty occupation. All of which would have confined the ability of services companies to put H-1B visa holders<\/strong>. At the client or third-party worksite, impacting Indian companies. It also called for restricting the educational qualifications needed to be eligible for an H-1B visa<\/strong>. Which again would have had an adverse impact on Indian candidates<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, the US issues 85,000 new H-1B work visas<\/strong>, about 70% of which go to Indian nationals. In the last few years, the share of visas <\/strong>gave to Indian services companies<\/strong> has dropped altogether. In part on account of stricter visa approval norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigration experts had said at the time that had this rule been executed. It would have significantly modified the H-1B system<\/strong>. Doug Rand, prime supporter of Boundless Immigration said on Twitter that ‘This is one of Trump’s 3 major midnight guidelines<\/strong> to change (some would say destroy) the H-1B system.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[June 2021 Visa Bulletin<\/span><\/a>]<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recently, another claim was filed against another Trump-era rule<\/strong> calling to change the H-1B selection process<\/strong>. From a lottery system to one that favored higher wages<\/strong>. Experts said that this would affect the ability of smaller firms, medical clinics, and colleges. Also, for not-for-profit organizations to access highly skilled talent<\/strong>. It would also make it harder for graduating students to be eligible for occupations. As the salary requirements would be essentially higher than would normally be offered at that level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
