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

[nahtanbob]

US citizens are losing two jobs, not one, because of these H4s (majority of them are working in HR). But it seems like some new rules are in progress:

1. Wage-based H1B
2. Four-year limit for student visas (currently, with a student visa, you can stay in the US indefinitely)

Recently, authorities have also started cracking down on U-visas.

student visas are not indefinite. They are tied to enrollment in an university

Replacement lottery based h1b with wage based one is a great idea

Please research about the student visa. here's the link, just in case..

Trump Administration Proposes New Rule To End Foreign Student Visa Abuse | Homeland Security

The Trump Administration announced a proposed rule that, if finalized, would limit the length of time certain visa holders – including foreign students– are allowed to stay in the United States.

www.dhs.gov

 

[Rationale]

The bottom line is that H1B visas greatly benefit the US economy. Anyone who thinks that companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta, Nvidia, Goldman Sachs , etc knowingly break immigration law and hire foreigners at lower wages than they would have hired American workers at and thus risk tens or hundreds of billions of fines and jail time for their executives is a complete moron.

Now, there may be some fraud going on by fly by night body shopping companies, but that is a failure of the USCIS and other administrative agencies to implement the law and not a problem with the programme, per se.

Prima facies , a reasonable solution would be to get rid of the lottery and make the priority salary -based and have a floor on the salary - say 250K or even 500k. However, both the right and left lunatic fringe will probably oppose this . The right wing idiots will be angry that this will favour the blue coastal states like NY and California and the left wing idiots will be pissed off because some of the woke , non-profit type companies will get priced out.

@Master Chief

In reality of course, the errors all stem from poor policy in these western countries.

This "poor policy" has been in place for 30 + years and has worked well for Western corporates. Not sure it can be called poor policy at all.

Maju , policies are not carved in stone , they can be inflated and deflated more often than Modijis chest ......in this India Pak hoopla you are forgetting elephant in the room , brutal and heartless geopolitics/ Geo strategies of big powers....... America doesn't want to see China 2.0 in the form of India , America wants an Indian lapdog like UK..... India is not going down that road , it may give some lip service but nothing more ...... China doesn't want to see India as peer equal ......All signs point to a consensus being developed between China and America ' pin the Indians down ' .......rough times ahead for you guys ...may the heavens be kind to you.

exactly u are 100% correct

They should also limit the majority of H1 going to India. This way USA companies can lower risk of having most of the eggs in one basket. Plus scrutinize thoroughly/ professionally of he reason for H1. Ukraine and Turkey have sizeable technical resources, as do Malaysia and Pakistan. Don't forget Egypt and Argentina. All of the countries need to be part of the pie.

von Blumfeld Pai,

America doesn't want to see China 2.0 in the form of India , ...... China doesn't want to see India as peer equal .

I think we have already discussed this in more than one forum. India isn't and will never be a competitor to China or USA even remotely. I don't see how a country which works as a jobber for the US IT industry and does some low-end manufacture can ever be a competitor to either.

Why would PRC and USA waste geopolitical capital in pinning down a low flying bird anyway.

But Modi believes Indians are peregrines in the making.

Agreed, I am not against the H1B, but 70% of H1B's going to one country is the main problem.

von Blumfeld Pai,

Modi is free to believe in anything as are his voters. There is no tax on believing, but that doesn't change reality.

Like it or not Pakistan was part of British Indian Empire

We thank the Brits for their generosity in creating Pakistan.

There are people living in the UK demanding sharia. This is tame by comparison.

No one does, literally a handful. If so, show me a parade like this.
You have entire parades with this nasty stuff. Tame? Oh keep quiet. These turds literally advocate to destroy mosques and Muslim dwellings.

"Thirst for bringing down costs" predates Trump. How can Trump reverse one of the very basic tenets of business.

It's the people at the top, now the workers are fighting back. Long may it continue.

You are the one who wants to always spend other people's money

I don't understand a thing you're saying with such shabby sentences.

Then bring the evidence that I posted Anti-American stuff on this Pakistani forum.

I did not post anything Anti-American, but I posted facts.
Anyways.

You should grow up and not get so offended so easily. Go ahead and post Anti-Canadian stuff, I won't get offended so easily.

That is Freedom of Speech you Americans value so dearly.

I've no reason to post anti-Canadian stuff. Just get tired of your blatant falsehoods that the Viet Cong kicked our asses or that we were wrong dropping the atomic bomb. Both of which I've explained to you.

You insist on remaining bullheaded and ignorant in your position on both. Please, do feel free to continue. Far be it from me to try an educate a man such as yourself who likes to brag he graduated with honors.
