87% Drop in H-1B Applications - Trump wants more, Proposes Doubling the Fee

Awesome. Now do blue collar, please. Start in Denham Springs.

Are you happy about the 87% drop or not?

I’m told that the Indians are so smart and that we need them. What will we do?

---

Have our education system start teaching useful skills for success instead of vengeance and grievance.

Good, now start revoking and expelling current holders.

But people here told me Trump wasn't interested in addressing this and actually wanted more H-1B workers.

Next up is the proposal to end the 60-day grace period that's currently available to foreign workers. This grace period allows them to find another job or make other immigration arrangements after their employment ends.

How does the current grace period work?
Under the current rule, eligible workers and their dependents may be treated as maintaining their nonimmigrant status after the employment supporting that status ends.

That protection lasts for up to 60 consecutive days or until the end of the authorized validity period, whichever is shorter. It is available once during each authorized validity period, and DHS can shorten or deny it as a matter of discretion.

The rule covers workers in E-1, E-2, E-3, H-1B, H-1B1, L-1, O-1, and TN status, along with their dependents. Eligible individuals may use the period to seek an extension of stay or a change of status. The grace period itself does not authorize employment.

For eligible H-1B workers, separate job portability rules can allow employment with a new employer to begin once a qualifying petition is properly filed, or on the requested start date, whichever is later. That makes timely filing an important part of changing jobs.

FYI the H1B allocation was still all used up because they are simply hiring people already here on F1 visas instead who are not subject to the H1B fees

This fee has done nothing to stop immigrants. It just created one more step they have to take to get here which is lie about being a student first.

Perhaps the government education system is really a jobs program…

Thanks to teacher's unions who are there to act in the interest of teachers, not students or parents.

---

The only drop is in applicants of those not in the country.

---

Same guy who says this has done nothing to stop immigrants.

Meanwhile, even Trump hating USA Today is reporting that H-1B Applications have dropped 87%. Go figure.

quote:

---

Those words came out of his mouth.

---

And apparently he isn't satisfied with seeing the applications drop by only 87% and is proposing we double the application fee to 200,000 dollars.

Same guy who says this has done nothing to stop immigrants.

It hasn't

It is misleading






You are acting like Indians won't abuse loopholes despite being know the world over as scamming pieces of shite

Again, they will come here on F1 status instead. Until we curb that, this does nothing really other than get tards who don't read beyond the headline excited and make indians take one more step to get here
