H1B Visa 2025 Changes - H1B Modernization (How will this impact you?)

[@chanrox69]

The problem of O1 - 3 years initially and then extensions for 1 year. It's 3x more expensive, extensive paper work and if you're fired or stop working, you've to leave the country the next day. You can't have any grace period like H1B or OPT

[@akkshhey09]

No, you do have 60 days grace period after O-1 expires.

Thank you Yudi. You are great. You promptly replied me. Thanks for the help!!

It's terrible. What the hell is wrong with them? I have worked with all sorts of Indians from all walks of life & they have all been so awesome. But Telegus are terrible, tacky materialistic, very tribalistic, unwilling to at least try to get along with Indians & others they work with & the fraud they commit is just 🤯🤯🤯🤯

I spok3 to Rajiv Ji regarding my H1B once. He is an amazing attorney and gave very genuine advice.

[@vivekmudaliar8764]

Thanks for the breakdown on the changes! Any idea on how H1B stamping going to get affected starting Jan 1st 2025? I have my stamping date scheduled on the 13th of Jan, just wanted to be prepared for any unexpected changes

[@soultravel8742]

I have been living in this country for a long time. Both republicans & democrats do nothing to fix the backlog. Few minor changes here & there which does not help much. If they had put per country cap on H1B to match greencard cap it made sense. Also, when you think life gets better after becoming citizen it does not because you realize you were getting hired easily because you had H1B. That triggers the panic button on so many entering each year. It’s a cycle which everyone experiences.

[@Immigrantlaw]

Rajiv is a great lawyer and I learned so much for him when I became a lawyer 20 years ago. But we have some unknowns. For one how will they manage all this. Also the economic consequences. I agree with Rajiv, Trump will not get it that easy. For those who don’t know Tesla hires a lot of H1b’s. I wonder how Musk is going to deal with that? But we will get busy fighting in the cases in court.?

[@Innoxent2211]

Thank you so much for the information very fascinating.

Hello Yudi, I am currently working for a Profit company which outsources me to Non profit research organization , I want my employer to file a cap H1 for me , instead of the cap-exempt H1B. They are saying it is not possible to do so , as my work location is at Non profit .There are no proper articles about it. Can you please ask this question. Thank you .

Hi Yudi, hope you're doing great. My name was selected in the second lottery for H1B visas in August 2024 for the 2025 fiscal year. I have already filed a petition and am currently awaiting its approval. I would like to confirm if the new H1B policies are applicable to my case as well.

I am planning to travel India on 5th January 2025 to spend some time with my family and planning to apply job in USA from there for some time and return. My doubt is can I return to USA in this case: 1. If I didn't have a job offer but want to come back In the month of March 2025 or before that with EAD approved or in process. 2. If I have a Job offer but EAD approved or still in process before March 2025. I request your expert advice on these matters.

what do you mean?

[@johnsreyer9409]

Not all H1B visa holders possess the exceptional skills the program was designed to attract; a significant portion-up to 85%-fall short of this standard. Many are underpaid, with salaries below the mandated minimum, revealing widespread non-compliance. Numerous H1B holders remain "on the bench," unemployed in their roles, yet more continue to arrive, often displacing American workers. The system’s oversight during visa extensions or green card processing is weak, relying on pay stubs that are frequently manipulated to show compliance. These issues expose systemic flaws, undermining the program’s intent and disconnecting policy goals and actual implementation. Officials can’t support or develop policies that they can’t implement genuinely! Funny how 'America First' doesn’t include real Americans, and anyone who calls out the hypocrisy is branded a racist or anti-progress and anti-talent.

[@kompassorpigo7600]

The entire reason your country attracts immigrants, John ( they're _legal_ immigrants, mind you, who went through all the pains of the immigration process), are the disproportionately high wages - which your country achieved through _exploiting the rest of the world with cheap labor._ In other words, your country shouldn't have these high wages, and, in a way, these immigrants are bringing the equilibrium to the US and the rest of the world. You can't have your cake and eat it too, John.
