Senate Judiciary Committee approved the amended Immigration Bill on May 21 with 13-5 majority votes. While the [url="http://www.myvisajobs.com/Blog/post/Statement-by-the-President-on-Senate-Immigration-Bill.aspx"]White House immediately praised the result[/url], the [url="http://www.myvisajobs.com/Blog/post/H-1B-Opponents-Angry-at-Senate-Immigration-Bill.aspx"]H-1B opponents were angry, because the foreign workers and tech industry are big winners[/url]!

The original bill would increase H-1B Visa and "high-tech" green card, and give their spouses work authorization([url="http://www.myvisajobs.com/Blog/post/Landmark-Immigration-Bill-to-Increase-H1B-Visa-and-Employment-Green-Card.aspx"]read details[/url]). The amended bill extended more favorites:[list]
[*]According to Computer World, the revised bill raises the annual H-1B cap from 65,000 to 115,000(a 5000 increase). The annual escalator increases from 10,000 to 20,000 if occupational unemployment for the management, professional and related occupations is below 4.5%(which has been below 4% in recent years). [url="http://www.myvisajobs.com/Blog/post/Revised-Senate-Immigration-Bill-Furthur-Increases-H1B-Visa-Number.aspx"]read details[/url]

If the President could sign the bill into law as it is before the end of fiscal year 2013(Sep 30, 2013), we might have 50,000-75,000 new H1B Visa available starting October 1, 2013(fights still ahead).
[*]Most employers will not be required to offer a job to an equally or better qualified U.S. worker before hiring foreign workers, only "dependent firms" have to do it. Dependent firms are those with 15% or more of the workforce on visas. The bill mandates the H-1B dependent employers to offer minimum of Level II wage and banning Level I wage.
[*]A new "intending immigrant" provision excludes the number of H-1B and L-1 employees who have started the green card process from counting the total number of H-1B and L-1 employees for the determination of "dependent firms".

This provision will certainly encourage employers to file large number of employment based green card petitions for their employees to avoid the title of "dependent firms"!
[/list]
The best part of the original bill is a 60-day transition period for H-1B workers to change jobs. An employer can no longer kick a worker out of the country by firing them and workers who wish to renew their visas no longer have to leave the country. Foreign workers can finally make their own employment decisions without worrying too much about the legal status!

Are you ready? The employers are always looking for skilled workers, make sure you [url="http://www.myvisajobs.com/Account/Login.aspx"] polish your resume and update your career profiles regularly[/url].
