USCIS to furlough 2/3 of its employees, as a result of lost revenues, from suspension of issuing VISAs, which was announced to protect jobs for Americans! https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1232042 #h1b #immigration
It's sad to see the situation. However I think they are poorly run org. I don't understand with so much immigration in this country how USCIS fails to manage without funding for a few months ? I think it's a good tactics to get fed money for free and get hefty bonuses.
Hefty bonuses - yes - furloughs for the bottom bonuses for the top! 😞
Might be intentional and by design from this administration. Fewer visa processing -> fewer employees at the agency -> even fewer visa processing.
This is what I think it is. What they can't deny, like family visas, they can further delay
Wait till they decide to force out the existing H-1Bs. They'll see a crash economic and real estate like never before. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2020/06/25/trump-may-attempt-to-force-long-time-h-1b-visa-holders-out-of-us/
Guess they fill up the vacant h1b jobs and its a win-win trump deal all around.
USCIS layoffs is bad for all visas including H1. Who will process extensions ?
