The Trump administration said on Friday it would ask companies to pay $100,000 per year for H-1B worker visas, prompting some big tech companies to warn visa holders to stay in the U.S. or quickly return.
The change could deal a big blow to the technology sector that relies heavily on skilled workers from India and China.
Since taking office in January, Trump has kicked off a wide-ranging immigration crackdown, including moves to limit some forms of legal immigration. The step to reshape the H-1B visa program represents his administration’s most high-profile effort yet to rework temporary employment visas.
i heard cs majors had a tough time for like 10+years, biotech is the same, because these companies that do research also have H1B VISA as part of “do you need it in the applications” and then theres the side where they also preferentially hire woman too, as it shows they hold the majority of bio major in the states, and are more succesful in bio-health and research than thier male counterparts. I also witness labs in my university were mostly women too, minus the fact that one of the managers was pervy and only liked women.
