Trump verdict on election interference
This is just my reading. Obviously we need to wait till they announce this officially in the next few weeks 1. Existing OPT card holders are screwed 2. OPT extension program is rescinded 3. If you are in medicine field then you are safe 4. New H1b for this year will no longer be issued - including people on OPT got selected in lottery this year The Wall Street Journal: Trump Administration Expected to Limit Work Program for Foreign Graduates. https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-administration-expected-to-limit-work-program-for-foreign-graduates-11590242401?mod=flipboard
Do u mean no h1b transfer and extension for old h1b this year?
I think existing H1b holders based in US are fine. As per the article, Trump is only going after new grads so that he can save those jobs for newly grad citizens.
@Roku you mean that H1b holders who are outside US , currently at risk even with valid stamp?
This kind of NEWs is useless
US companies thrive on H1Bs. Issuing no H1Bs would push US into recession.
useless. it just rewrite old news
No it's not old news. Earlier was predicting overall immigration and OPT was one of the listed items. This article quotes OPT primarily. And it makes sense to eliminate OPT to save jobs for newly graduated citizens
And then they will also have to bail out the education system 😂... already heard that there are layoffs at my alma matter because foreign students no longer want to come because all these visa hassles (&corona ofcourse)
Education system is some billions. Trump doesn't care. He will bail out them too.
In my view... trump sides with business leaders... bc college grads will never vote for trump (they are mostly liberal bunch). So, I don’t think this will be on his wishlist.
About time
Best of luck, this will be better for the world
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/09/inside-the-growing-guest-worker-program-trapping-indian-students-in-virtual-servitude/ This link is old news but a good read. FYI, I have been on OPT in the past.
Where are you reading anything to do with H1B in this article?!
Haha same. I think it's mainly OPT from what I've read too. But on another thread it looks like USCIS is going bankrupt... 90% NBC gone
Yeah there’s no doubt this has been a convenient excuse to exercise the full extent of some bigots’ restrictionist fantasies. Trump himself on the whole has shown to be equal parts antagonistic and ambivalent to the legal/work based migration.
They can’t screw those that are already in OPT. New OPTs won’t be issued perhaps. I think they may honor H-1B lottery this year but may cancel it next year. H-1B extensions and transfers may have heat due to this and we would be seeing more rejections and RFEs if this were to happen. Rather than making multiple discussions on blind, let’s wait and see what the government does.
They will let it die but won't issue extension
That is exactly what I said!
