Officials state that the last rule, which will be published in the Federal Register on January 8th, is to protect the financial entertainment of the American people and make some highly experienced foreign employees earn higher profits from the short employment program.
Washington:
The United States announced Thursday that it will revise its H-1B visa selection process, prioritizing salary and skills, rather than current lottery procedures.
Officials said the final rule, to be published in the Federal Register on January 8, is to protect the economic interests of American workers and ensure highly skilled foreign workers benefit better from the temporary employment program.
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to hire foreign workers in specialized occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. Tech companies rely on them to employ tens of thousands of employees every year from countries like India and China.
USCIS said that adjusting the H-1B cover selection process will incentivize employers to offer higher pay, and / or petition for higher-skill jobs, and create a more assured path for companies to fulfill employee needs and remain globally competitive.
The final rule will be in effect 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. The upcoming H-1B visa application season is set to start on April 1.
“The H-1B temporary visa program has been exploited and abused by employers who seek primarily to fill entry-level jobs and reduce overall labor costs,” said Joseph Idlow, USCIS Deputy Director for Policy.
`` Modern H-1B randomization technology makes it difficult for organizations to plan their hiring, and fails to leverage the application to compete for and brightest international workforce, and has often resulted in the annual influx of foreign workers placed in low-wage jobs at the expense of US labor. ".
This effort will only have an impact on H-1B registrations (or petitions, if the recording technique is suspended) submitted via potential petitioners looking to file H-1B petitions.
It has carefully considered the public comments received before deciding to publish the proposed regulations as a final rule."
According to the Final Rule, of which the Department of Homeland Security issued a copy, instead, a registration system that faithfully implements the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with priority on registrations based on the wage level within each cap will incentivize H-1B employers to offer higher wages, Or petition for higher-skilled jobs and higher-skilled foreigners commensurate with higher pay levels, to increase the likelihood of selection and eligibility to file a petition subject to the maximum H-1B
Moreover, he would increase the allocations for the H-1B roof, so that they would likely go to the best and brightest workers; He said it would discourage abuse of the H-1B program to fill relatively low-wage jobs that require fewer skills, which is a major problem under the current selection system.
Changes to this final rule will apply to all registrations, including those for advanced-class exemption, submitted on or after the actual date of the final rule.
