US President Donald Trump’s new order on H-1B visas, in a way that comes into force tomorrow, the 21st of September, a former Indian diplomat Mash Sachdev, described the movement as “two ends sword”. Warned that America could weaken IT innovation; It can also affect the US market -dependent Indian companies.

Commenting on the papers signed on Friday, Sachdev said that the movement also seems to be largely intended to implement Trump’s political base, which often claims that foreign workers are of good payment of Americans. However, this narrative rarely examined that H-1B owners were hired or hired due to low wages or higher efficiency and professionalism levels.

“I think it’s a sharp sword. At one end, there is a magazine base, where foreigners are claimed to take good wage jobs in the United States of the United States. Examples are not only due to higher efficiency or a larger person to hire American citizens only H-1B staff.

“America is a highly competitive country and an extremely innovative country, especially in the IT and the new technology sector. It needs talent and putting such mass restrictions on the Americans do not serve their IT industry.”

The declaration, which is valid as of September 21st, restricts the H-1B entry for workers outside the United States, unless employers pay the US $ 100,000 annually. The measure aims to question the widespread abuse of the H-1B program, especially the companies that bring out the firms, American workers and printing companies, American workers and suppressing companies without blame. Last year, 71 percent of H-1B approvals, CT companies made the primary beneficiaries of the program.

“On the other hand, I think that the H-1B visa plan of our IT companies is the major utilitors of the H-1B visa plan. Last year, 71 percent of the total beneficiaries of the H-1B plan.

To reduce Fallout, Sachdev proposed multiple strategies for Indian companies with operations in the United States and customers. He said there would be a direct increase in India to avoid high visa costs. Companies can also concentrate on their efforts to recruit local in the US by employing Indian Origin professionals or by hiring American citizens and other foreign nationals. At the same time, he said there was a strong legal return.

“Multiple strategies will be required to mislead such a restriction. First, the work will increase to benefit from outsourcing to India. Second, the fact that it does not comply with the authority of this government government, because it does not comply with the authority of this decision.

New Order in Trump’s H-1B visas

On Friday, the US President issued a new presidential declaration entitled “Restriction to the Entry of Non-Immigrant Workers”, which suffered an annual fee of US $ 100,000 for H-1B visa applications. The measure that is valid since September 21 aims to combat the external resource use from companies accused of displacement and suppressing wages, especially what the administration calls the common abuse of the H-1B program.

The declaration argues that the original purpose of H-1B is distorted by claiming that bringing high-skilled foreign capabilities, low-paid, entry-level H-1B recruitment damages American graduates and emphasizing national security concerns including companies containing companies containing heavily reorganized in the program.

According to the order, employers now submit H-1B petitions, while the US State and Internal Security Offices should provide proof of payment by execution. There are limited exemptions for lawsuits accepted as national interest.
