H1-b changes 😲

**updated with exact bullets from message.** This is all happening. fragomen just emailed all visa holders in our company notifying major changes coming to h1b. these are the possible changes and they will confirm once announcement is made: - Potential increase in filing fees from ~$3,500 per petition to ~$20,000 per petition - Delayed re-entry for current H1-B (and other visa holders) currently outside of the US - A pause on granting any new H1-Bs, including job transfers, for the foreseeable future - possible reduction in the STEM work authorization period #workvisa #h1b

Yeah, this needs some sort of credible source. I just checked and I have no such email.

If this happens, I’m leaving the US. This is slavery, plain and simple. MAGA my ass.

It’s not slavery. You’re here by choice and you’re free to leave at any time.

I can, and I will. It’s not an easy choice for people who have kids, that have grown up thinking USA is their country and have considerable non-liquid investment here. You can’t force someone to work for an employer they don’t like and don’t want to or totally turn their life around in 60 days.

There is no such thing named h1b transfer. You can only file a new petition which is cap exempt and considered as “transfer”.

ServiceNow Pjgi26 OP Jun 18, 2020

Yes, that is a petition as well, so another $20K 😱
