Trump govt tightens H-1B visa norms; new rules may hit Indian IT companies

26 Feb 2018 Evaluate

Raising some concerns among the Indian techies, US President Donald Trump’s administration has came out with a new H1B visas policy memorandum. The new policy with tougher rules makes the procedure of issuing H-1B visas more difficult to those to be employed at one or more third-party worksites. This move is expected to impact Indian Information Technology (IT) companies as they are among the major users of this visa.

As per the new policy, Indian IT companies will have to furnish detailed documentation and more evidence to prove that their H1B employees deployed at third-party worksites have specific and non-qualifying speculative assignments in speciality occupation. The new policy empowers the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to issue H-1B visas to an employee for only the period he/she has work at a third-party worksite, reversing the tradition of issuing H-1B visa for 3 years at a time. It has also made the process of extension of H-1B visas more difficult.

The new policy announcement is a part of President Trump’s ‘Buy American and Hire American Executive Order’ and the directive to protect the interests of US workers, which seeks to create higher wages and employment rates for US workers and to protect their economic interests by rigorously enforcing and administering our immigration laws.
