Washington:
More than 7,000 student and exchange visitors from India who became in the US in 2023, an expert told our legislators and presented various reforms in the country's immigration policy, including those related to H-1B-VISA.
No fewer than 32 countries have a students/exchange visitor who are higher than 20 percent, Jessica M Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies told the US House Committee on the Judiciary during a hearing about “Recovery of immigration enforcement in America.” The F and M company categories have the highest over -language rates of one of the broad categories of temporary admission. The F-1 visa enables a person to enter the United States as a full-time student at an accredited college, university, seminarie, conservatory, academic high school, primary school or other academic institution or in a language training program.
The M-1 visa category includes students in professional assignments or other non-academic programs, except for language training.
“Four countries – Brazil, China, Colombia and India – each had more than 2,000 of their citizens who had too much students/exchange visa in 2023, with India having the highest number (7,000),” Vaughan said Wednesday. Visa issue policy must be required adjustments and the enforcement of the interior must be strengthened. Moreover, the congress must change the law in various important ways, she explained. “Firstly, the concept of double intention should not apply to applicants of student visa; Instead, every applicant must be obliged to prove an intention and probability to return to their home country after their studies, “she added.
Vaughan said that Visa for specialist professions of employees (H-1B) should be limited to a period of two years with a possible extension up to four years, and there must be no automatic extension based on a green card request.
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa with which American companies can hire foreign employees in special professions that require theoretical or technical expertise. Technology companies depend on the to hire tens of thousands of employees from countries such as India and China every year.
“The total number must be limited to 75,000 or less, including the non-profit and research sector, which is currently unlimited. If the category is surplus, the Visa must be awarded to the highest paying employers, as a proxy for the highest skilled employees, “she said.
“Federal government agencies must be allowed to request approval for visa workers only in very limited circumstances,” she added.
Vaughan argued that the United States has no shortage of work, neither in competent or low -paid professions. In fact, there are millions of Americans of working age who have stopped the labor market.
Even in the STEM sector (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) there are more than two million US.
STEM-Graadholders who are unemployed or do not work in voice, who is about a sixth of the total, she claimed. In addition to sending more action by the agency, the congress should revise these visa programs in order to increase the opportunities for American employees.
“Firstly, no personnel companies may be allowed to sponsor foreign fishing staff. “These companies work on a business model that is designed to replace American employees with employees from abroad who will work for lower wages, and are associated with illegal recruitment methods, such as the charging of employees illegal recruitment costs and exploitation of employees in both both Skilled as low and low wage professions, “she said.
All employers must be held responsible for high surplus costs for sponsored employees, she added.
