How will America’s new immigration bill be beneficial for Indians?
A group of 60 lawmakers in the US has urged President Joe Biden to increase the validity of documents of people who have received H4 visas. H-4 visas are issued by the USCIS, ie the US Department of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), to the family members of H1B visa holders. Let us tell you that most of the H1B visa holders are Indian IT professionals.
The biggest advantage of an H1B visa is that any foreigner can apply for it. Under this, H1B visa holders can bring their spouse and children to America. His family members can also stay in the US for the same number of years as H1B visa holders. After this visa one can apply for permanent citizenship.
Most of the US IT companies recruit millions of employees every year from countries like India and China through this visa. According to reports, the US issues H-1B visas to 85,000 people every year. According to statistics, 70 percent of the total H-1B visas in the US are given to Indian professionals. Only after that comes China’s number.
Donald Trump’s stand on H1B
Former President Donald Trump had created difficulties for Indians and people of other countries while making changes in the selection process related to H1B visa. Under the rules imposed by them, a provision has been made to give priority to salary and skills instead of the existing lottery system. It is believed that this will increase the difficulties of Indian IT professionals.
According to USCIS officials, amendments to the H1B visa selection process will encourage employers to apply for higher salaries and higher positions. At the same time, the way will be open for companies to hire employees as per the need and keep themselves globally competitive.
USCIS deputy director for policy Joseph Allow said the H1B visa temporary visa program has been misused by employers. They are mainly using it to fill primary-level positions and reduce their business cost. In such a situation, it is necessary to tighten the rules.
Biden’s stance on H1B
Former President Donald Trump got this notification issued two weeks before the end of his term. This was his last attempt to stop immigrants from coming to America. Trump had banned H-1B visas and other visas and green cards till March 31. New President Biden has called for the removal of the ban on H1B visas, calling Trump’s immigration policies cruel.
However, it is too early to say how the amendments to the rules will affect Indian companies, as the upcoming Biden administration may make changes to the notification. Another promise he made in his election manifesto was to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants, of whom 500,000 are Indians.
Biden said he would work with the US Congress to reform the visa system, the H1-B visa, to allow those on visas to switch jobs. Indians can benefit a lot from this.
