Trump’s New H-1B Visa Rule Spells Trouble For Indians; Wage-Based Policy Risks Entry-Level Jobs – Explained | India News
US President Donald Trump’s administration prepared a major revision of the current lottery-based H-1B visa policy. According to the Bloomberg Legal Report, the White House’s Information and Regulatory Works Office approved a proposed rule that can reshape how H-1B visas were allocated to foreign workers in private areas. The arrangement is expected to be announced to the public soon. According to Media reports, the new wage -based rule may cause problems for international candidates, especially for those who come from India, because the entry -level, low -paid jobs may not be priority.
Transition from Lottery to Wage Based Election
Within the scope of the proposal, applicants will be prioritized according to the salaries submitted in job applications. TOI will be preferred for higher paid positions in order to protect US employees and to go to roles that provide significant benefit to the American economy.
Currently, the H-1B program has an annual 85,000 visas, buyers have been selected with a random lottery. In 2021, the Department of Internal Security (DHS) proposed to replace the lottery with a four -layer wage -based system. This approach was first observed under the Trump administration as part of the “American Buy American Hire” attempt, which aims to choose high -wage, high -quality foreign workers.
Trial and Needic Date
An efforts to move to a wage priority system faced legal and public resistance. Biden administration, critics, foreign workers, especially new graduates can sharpen the recruitment of the plane after warning that the plan in 2021 withdrew the plan. Federal courts also prevented attempts to narrow appropriate occupations and increase wage requirements.
Effect on graduates and employers
If implemented, the new system can create significant challenges for new graduates and entry -level workers who can fight to secure their high initial salaries. For international students, this will add pressure to negotiate higher wage in their careers, which is often a difficult task without a comprehensive experience or network.
Employers, especially smaller companies, initiatives, and non -profit organizations may have difficulty in meeting higher wage thresholds for young roles and potentially reduce sponsorships for international recruitment. This may limit business opportunities for foreign graduates who aim to stay and work in the USA.
