H-1B visas must end’: Wife of US citizen shares plight of landing IT jobs

[Salza]

WOW - I thought it was $100k for a renewal which lasts for 3 years, but at $100k per year, it really is game over ...

Ya. Considering there are currently 600K Indian H1B visa holders residing in US as we speak for the last 7-8 years. From this month end, on average 25K Indian origin H1B visa holders visa will get expired which won't be renewed unless someone is at Director level. So there will be mass exodus back to India every month for the next one year.

Now fresh graduates from Indian IT universities will get a tough time securing a job in India as local companies will prefer to hire these returned Indians. This will also hurt Indian remittance and in the next few years, all the Indian origin CEOs will replaced by some gora. I don't think this US policy will change even after Trump's term. Even if some other President after Trump ease the policy, damage will be done.

Hold on - your statement is factually incorrect.

He is not trying to dismantle H1B. He is simply changing the fee for it. I cannot imagine changing the fee on anything in the USA requires congressional approval and I cant see how this requires a "new law". At most, this is a low level admin change.

Bro is just having tough time coping it. Does he even realize out of 600K current H1B Indian origin visa holders in US, how many of them have their visa getting expired by Sept month end ? On average 25K will go back every month for the next few months.

I hope this is done across the west and this horde of cheap labor from the subcontinent reduces and the western born South Asians can take the lead again. This was tragic on all counts for the natives.

When they were giving this proclamation they had Trump Gold Card displayed prominently next to Trump. It was really funny. Stick and carrot eh.

When I was a student OPT was literally 11 months and you have to leave the country or if you overstayed you would become illegal (wait till universal pardon to become legal again). H1b was strictly 6 years and even if your I-140 approved no recourse, we had to leave and comeback after green card approval. It was totally different than now. DOD sponsored NIW for many Indians when I worked at Randolph AFB. Getting an F1 itself was very tough and only 2 people got visas of F1 in Chennai consulate on the day I got my F1. Most of the students were very good academically, no rif raf at all. Times changed and people change. This change is also part and parcel of life.

This will practically reduce by 90% of Indians going to USA universities. Its another economic bomb on India by Trump. Expect remittances to take huge hit.

This is one policy that is also very popular among leftists and not just racist MAGA. Americans are being laid off by record numbers and were rightly were pissed at H1B visas for white collar jobs.

Right. The debate within US regarding this H1B visa was always there for the last few years but democrats didn't had the balls to pull the plug as they considered India as their strategic partner against China.

@r3alist bro

Anyway this will be tomorrow's news soon enough, but again, all the clues were there a year ago

Yes, of course, and we have been doing this over and over again for the last year or so. It is completely understandable that the Americans (citizens and govt) would like to keep their tech jobs for their own citizens. American corps would like to use the cheapest labour available. The battle won't end here. American corps, supported by their lobbyists and lawyers, will try to poke holes into the rule, should it be enforced. In case they can't, they will discreetly ship some of those jobs abroad.

Regards

There may be some frictional challenges, but with the use of technology and a motivated workforce the corporation will adapt


In which case, what will Indians do, fight the right for US dollars and have the American dream?

"Bro", I am past caring about these things. The fact remains that a US President does not have the power to pass orders that fundamentally change the character of laws the US Congress has passed. His role is limited to implementing and enforcing these laws. This is called "separation of powers ". This EO is certain to be challenged and will be decided by the judiciary whose role it is to interpret the laws. The broad question, framed in layman terms, is whether this order is just implementing and enforcing the law or changing its characteristics, which are clearly defined by Congress.

Anyway, coming to the point you raised, I have already addressed it earlier. People who are already in the United States are unaffected by this order as long as they stay in the United States. They can get their visas renewed without paying the 100K fee. You can read the text of the order to confirm this.

If you are curious why the order is written in such a way , you can read up Section 212(f) of the Immigration Act of 1990.

NDTV, one of the biggest and most mainstream media services in India, after Trump made suckers of Hindustan with a simple phone call last week:

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/pm-modi-donald-trump-phone-call-pm-modi-birthday-india-us-trade-talks-india-us-tariffs-news-donald-trump-truth-social-post-on-modi-9293065/amp/1

"Unpacking PM Modi-Trump Phone Call.
The most significant aspect, perhaps, was not in the conversation itself; it was in the timing of social media posts after the talk, a 'race' in which PM Modi beat President Trump by 37 minutes.

Mr Modi's X post came in at 10.53 pm. Mr Trump's on Truth Social at 11.30 pm.

Why is this important?

Because Donald Trump, ever the showman and entrepreneur, is always keenly aware of the first-mover advantage. Recall the Truth Social post announcing the Op Sindoor ceasefire, for example."

Seriously wtf?

So, NDTV and the whole of India was busy uber-analysing a Trump tweet as evidence of ANYTHING meaningful in terms of the India-USA trade dynamic.

Honestly, such garbage is peddled by all of India's "free thinking" media in order to help Modi (and, in turn, the bhakts that follow him) cope with what Trump is doing to him.

Trump smiles in Modi's direction and somehow all will be fine and dandy for the Hindutva Reich and its eternal progeny.

You cannot make up the level of self-gaslighting that is going on in the hindustani qom, which is a further manifestation of the cope demonstrated on these very pages by so many of our regular visitors from eastern climes.

What I truly don't understand though is why our own forum-goers refuse to accept our wise council which predates all such public embarrassments. We have warned - most generously if I may add - our eastern cousins that there is little to be concluded from tweets and posturing by Trump. Indeed, we have warned that he is very much a poker player, looking to deceive before striking decisively. Modi has been caught, once again, with his dhoti down by an expert manipulator.

@r3alist bro

Does it not bother you that PAK is behind Philippines in the above infographic?

The day we recognise Isreal or offer ourselves to be "bulwark" against China, you will see us climbing that chart at some rate. You guys needs to understand this that you been enjoying the benefits of signing on PNAC back in early 90s. That project has run its course and perhaps India needs to now find new solutions.

I want mass deportations.
