Elon Shitmusk must be lividVivek the Visionary is also punching the air.
This will absolutely shatter the healthcare industry, something like a quarter of all doctors in the US are foreign-trained. Most if not all of them would have required an H-1B at some point.3 of my wife's immediate family (she's Canadian) work as nurses/doctors in a US border town. You're not wrong at all this will devastate hospitals. On the flipside it may help with the shortage Canada has right now by forcing them to work locally.
Will this affect those with it or only new ones?Says "to obtain" so likely means if you already have it you are good until renewal. Only my assumption though so could be wrong.

Its never been about illegal immigration, it's always been about immigration in general.

How much is the fee before this?It depended on how big the company is, but it is around:
What company is going to be happy about paying 100k for a person before they have done any work?
Dont they pay them less than locals? Could still come up ahead after a few years. It really just sounds like the administration trying to take a piece of the pie.It's $100K every year.
It's $100K every year.
Good. The level of abuse is crazy. If companies really can't be assed to find someone here when every other person is in tech nowadays, then go ahead, pay $100k to find someone overseas.Dude, there is indeed a shortage of tech workers. We are not talking skilled labor that only takes 6 months to 2 years to train. The Chinese and Indians have been training specialized tech skills for many many years now. You need like 4-6 years -- almost like the number of years needed when doing a plumbing or electrician apprenticeship. There literally aren't enough Americans that are skilled specifically for the work required in certain tech fields and manufacturing sectors. The labor required needs special training, and not enough Americans are in those fields right now.
We can't go one day with nothing happening can we...
We'll be did a few weeks ago when he disappeared. Can we just go back to that? It was so nice.I miss it and want it back
Its never been about illegal immigration, it's always been about racism.

Oh crap. I just heard Trump say that tech companies are on board and they love it. On one hand, the tech sector has been laying off people so Im not really gonna feel guilty for them, specially when theyve been kissing his ass.yeah they loved bending the knee and kissing up thinking they won't get screwed but as seen this admin is throwing the whole economy in the drain so i expect most of these CEO's to have a shocked pikachu face and go '''how could the leopard eat my face'' moments soon
Lol, more opportunities for Trump to bribe certain companies and give special favorshttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/62a3f32e.jpg

It's only in a couple of areas within tech, and those are not really the ones coming on H1Bs, and there are other visas for highly specialized people.
this doesn't make companies magically hire locals tho all this does is make them cut down on their work force and off load it to other countries as seen with recent lay off's happeningTech offshoring causes more trouble than it's worth, especially for smaller guys. Many of those layoffs had almost immediate applications for H1Bs. AI is already a threat to tech workers, so there's no reason to add in a bunch of additional cheap competition anymore.
this is just trump admin making it easier to grift more by making companies bribe him to work around it
This punishes every company, including startups, nonprofits, research institutions, and smaller firms that cant just absorb an extra six-figure cost. The ones who can pay (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Tesla, etc.) will, but the smaller companies and institutions will be priced out. That actually entrenches the largest corporations and helps corporate America, not Americans.Almost all of that has other visas available. Those that have legitimate need can be focused on separately.
Also, there are shortages in high-skill tech roles right now. So you have no idea what you are talking about.
In some of the most critical areas and it isn't just "a couple." Advanced AI, chip design, biotech, cybersecurity, etc. Basically fields where the US doesn't have enough homegrown talent right now. These sort of roles take many years of training.O-1A
These "other visas" are capped in tiny numbers (O1, EB1, etc.). Some are family-based or apply to very narrow categories. H1b is the main (and practical) pathway for a US company that needs to hire specialized talent from abroad. It's one of the few visas that actually allows for scale.Not really. O-1A has no caps.
Startups, universities, research labs, etc. who don't have global offices lose out entirely with this.
That's why H1B matters and it isn't some loophole. It's literally a pillar for how US tech and research sectors actually bring in the skills they can't find enough of domestically. This closes the door on every company or organization that isn't a corporation.I didn't say it's a loophole. It's turned into a scam because of the crazy levels of abuse.
