12月7日,国土安全部(DHS)限制与收紧H1-B签证规定将生效。移民专家早些时候指出,虽然DHS的限制H-1B规则与劳工部(DOL)的涨工资新规不同,有60天的评论期,但目前政府做出改变的可能性很低。总统当选人拜登可能会改变这一状况,但这可能需要几个月的时间,所以可能并不容易。
IT公司高管曾指出,工资上涨新规和DHS限制H-1B新规,将对科技公司产生很多的影响,他们也正在探索离岸外包的方式(转移到印度等低成本地区)。两种H1B新规将对IT技术人员,尤其是印度裔,产生巨大影响,因为他们是签证的主要受益者之一。在2019财年签发的180万H-1B签证中,印度人约占130万。
美国国家公共政策基金会(NFAP)创始人Stuart Anderson在《福布斯》的一份报告中指出:截至2020年9月,大多数H-1B员工所在的计算机相关领域的失业率最低,为3.5%,而其他领域的失业率为7.8%。2020年1月,计算机相关领域的失业率为3%,非计算机相关领域的失业率为4.1%。
此外,美国企业家机构提交的一份报告显示:截至2020年10月,需要学士及以上学位的职位空缺为650万个,比2020年5月增加了4.7%。
On December 7, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) tougher H1-B visa rule will come into effect. President-Elect Joe Biden could change it, but it might take a few months and might not be easy, immigration experts had earlier pointed out. Though there was a 60-day comment period for the DHS H-1B rules, the probability of the current administration making changes is low, pointed out experts.
All these would have a huge impact on Indian IT service providers and techies, who are one of the major beneficiaries of the visa. Indians account for about 1.3 lakh of the total 1.8 lakh H-1B visas issued in FY19.
IT executives in recent interactions with Moneycontrol had pointed out that wage hikes and tighter H-1B norms would impact them as they explore alternatives like offshoring (moving to low-cost locations like India), with remote working picking up and accelerating localisation drives.
Stuart Anderson, founder, National Foundation for Public Policy (NFAP), in a Forbes report, pointed out that computer-related fields where the majority of H-1B workers were deployed saw the least unemployment rate at 3.5 percent, compared to 7.8 percent in other fields, as of September 2020. Unemployment rate in computer-related fields was 3 percent in January 2020, and for non-computer related fields, it was 4.1 percent.
In addition, there were 6.5 lakh job openings that required Bachelor’s degrees and above, as of October 2020, a 4.7 percent increase compared to May 2020, noted a report submitted by the US agency that supports entrepreneurs and small businesses in America. source
