Major Employment Change Coming | What Foreign Students And H-1B Visa Holders Need To Know | Forbes

[@princekwamiso]

The US immigration system is so complicated you would think it is meant to encourage illegal immigration through the southern boarder than coming in legally. Been there, experienced the 80% rejection rate.

[@Libertino]

Word.

[@brandrange2288]

Much harder for highly educated and highly skilled Ivy League graduates to stay and live in the US than for unskilled illegal immigrants who would come and stay forever as if there is no law or border.

[@JbassPlayer28]

Nahhh. Overstaying visa is the most common way of illegal entry

[@jctannery2768]

A good number of layoffs took place during the holidays. They knew who would be affected by them. If the layoffs have no political motive (i.e. US not liking BRICS and/or India buying oil from Russia), then Canada could be open as an option. If Canada is not (since it is a US ally) then one could hazard a guess as to why.

[@makarandumarji55]

After some years Canada will also stop welcoming immigrants- everything is a circle , it ends when it is supposed to.USA has had enough of immigrant flow and they no longer need that much flow , people who support Canada now will end up saying Canada is no longer a place after 3-5 years as it will get complicated and competitive too.Canadian PR is also getting difficult now.

[@amberheard2433]

I always tell students and professionals NOT TO COME to the US for work or study if they are from large countries such as India. Here an Indian expat called Saurabh has asked the Indian Ministry of External Affairs to issue a TRAVEL ADVISORY for Indians to not come to the US or to be sure to leave as there is no future in coming to America. Search for the article: US dreams: 7L Indians awaiting Green Cards; expats send SOS to MEA When people STUCK for more than a decade can't get Greencards, WHAT is the point of coming to the US, SERIOUSLY? When it comes to H1B visas they don't have a country of birth limit but for greencards they have a limit. Nothing but plain racism and exploitation. No use of coming to the US if from a large country. They say land of opportunity but it's a land of exploitation. America behaving like a banana republic!!!

[@harrisn3693]

Because US isn’t a real country

[@SuhaibZafar]

There is a limit on green cards to ensure that a few countries (as of now, primarily India) do not get ALL the green cards. If you can't understand this basic point, there's no point ranting about it.

[@amberheard2433]

@@SuhaibZafar There is no reason for it. If employment based visas can be given without country caps to Indians and Chinese, but the employment based immigration petitions for are based on country of birth, then that is called hypocrisy and it is in the interests of all who care about the basic idea of America as a land of opportunity for people regardless of where they are born to oppose this hypocrisy and exploitation to be as vocal about it as possible. As it is nothing but exploitation, and it diminishes America as a fair country! India and China are huge countries with which America is intimately involved in trade as well. This creates the impression that America doesn't stand by its principles and wants to exploit people at every opportunity. If not Greencard, then they should be given EAD if they have been waiting 5 years of GC. If America can't even do that then it is no better I am sorry to say than any country that has exploited people like slaves.

Why do you need more H1bs when all the tech companies are laying everyone off .This makes no sense whatsoever

[@x-men69-96]

not enough tech workers? that’s a lie. I and many of my American computer science student friends lost jobs to Indian workers. H1B workers can’t leave the company and they will head down. They will do anything to keep the job, and earn the lowest pay possible. There are thousands of tech layoffs now. We don’t need anymore H1B.

[@jctannery2768]

@@x-men69-96 If foreign labor was so important and hard to find, you would not be seeing tens of thousands of layoffs now. The AI program - Chat GPT is coming out with more versions. The US & tech companies are acting acting as though they don't need the labor anymore. Did hear that they were "banking their future" on the use of AI.

[@jctannery2768]

88@@cr9144 It is my understanding that the IT area comprised of 70% immigrant labor. Tens of thousands of layoffs took place prior to the holidays. Many were notified via EMail. Some found out when their badges no longer worked or their access denied. These companies are not concerned about these workers. They do not care about 'burning bridges". The only time I have seen this type of behavior is when the employer has (or feels that he has) another "viable option" ready and waiting to go. Coincidentally, Chat GPT and other AI tools have come online. Supposedly, the work of 10 programmers can be done by one person (or that is the claim). Either this is the case (worker replacement) or there is some political motivation. Of course, I do not know for sure - just going off the way the workers were dismissed.

[@kells4723]

And that labor force for legal applicants should continue. The issue is the massive surge of illegal immigrants who are provided for by tax payers. A hindrance on legal immigration.

H-1B Visa workers are taking American educated jobs. The H1B visa salary needs to be adjusted annually for cost of living which would push the minimum salary established in 1978 from $60,000 a year to $250,000 a year current date.

[@harris7963]

H1B worker quality is lower than American workers’. Let the market decide salaries and keep your socialist ideas to yourself. This flood of H1B workers contributed to the increased cost of living.

[@savvyn37]

How about analyzing how much jobs are getting offshores..h1b jobs are still in Us market.They give taxes and spend money in US. They should put 7% country cap in H1 in lottery.Let’s see how US advances.

[@flightscience101]

I have never seen a H1B send much money in the USA, instead these H1B's spend and compete with Americans for American resources.

[@savvyn37]

@Nancy Beltran it is obvious you don't know about it. H1 has to pay tax money that is the difference between legal and illegal immigrants. Uncle Sam takes straight away 35% of package just like any employed American. This people have to live in America, so they spend living cost here. Of course they won't be spending on yacht /RV that is basic common sense.

[@flightscience101]

@@savvyn37 I don't think you understand that H1B is not a immigrant visa. It is a temporary work visa. Illegal immigrants also are wrong and needs to be removed but that's another problem that we have. I don't know about 35% because its different for all types of workers based on progressive tax. So not sure what is there to complain about saying that you guys pay taxes. Everyone who works in the USA legally pays taxes.

[@savvyn37]

When you say you don't need immigrants and Work visa. I agree. Please make international caliber workers in USA all this will go away. If you look at patents, please identify how many %age is of American citizen. Mediocre achievement make Mediocre country. American is developed and great country. Who is working for the difference. Simply opposing is easy. Policy changes without loosing what you have shows half hearted approach.

[@Parthivi56]

I mean my only 2 cents are if you don’t want immigrants taking jobs, why are you letting them get in the school systems? It’s goody goody when they bring money in but not so much when they wanna use that education to make a life here.

[@franco521]

[@Tom-fw6bx]

Some Indian owned consulting companies in USA offer a job status at a charge so that the jobless people can stay. I think there is a minimum salary requirement to prove that one holds a job that American citizens are not able to carry, while paying to keep visa status is the other way. Is it legal?

[@SayHelloDude]

Think about it. Can it actually be legal?

[@flightscience101]

Please report these companies to H1B fraud. These needs to be stopped! These H1B's who are no longer needed are leeching off us Americans by illegal methods.

[@jewslikefunk]

It’s not, it’s a legal loophole that consulting firms exploit.

[@flightscience101]

Yes Change needs to happen, the H1B visa is currently abused. We need to remove the lottery system and only fill the quota based on top USA school graduates and if they are mid tier colleges than they will need a PHD. Additionally, The limit of 6 years should be enforced, I have seen people on H1B who have been here for 10+ years and they do work that a American high school graduate can do it. They need to go back for 1 year and then apply again. This needs to be fixed.

[@joaquinhernangomez]

I disagree with what you are saying, you need more international students now than ever. Your experience doesn't represent the reality and the reality is that people on H1B visas are far more qualified than 99.9% of American workers, especially in the tech industry. I am an international student and It's insane how big the skill gap is between the average American and the average international student, the mentality is so different, and we have to fight for our future. I'm not saying that there aren't amazing American students out there because there are, but the skill gap cannot be ignored. The USA would struggle much more to keep up with the rest of the world if you would impose these restrictions that you suggest thankfully you aren't in a position to make decisions and shouldn't be because I think you clearly lack a basic level of understanding of what you are talking about.

[@mohit4902]

Nah they'll never do that, it's better off to try Canada or Germany

[@ash41213]

Go back for one year and try again? These are peoples lives we’re talking about. They’ve got friends, pets, a career, houses, children going to school. It’s easy to make rules when you’re not living on a visa yourself.
