New Bill Introduced To Limit H-1B Abuse


Recommended Posts

Posted

A new bill to put a cap on H-1B hiring has been proposed by US senators Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin. For the first time, there will be a focus on the H-1B visa allocation priorities and yearly allowance.

 

Grassley stated the swift action arisen from companies who hire lesser skilled workers over Americans at a lower pay. Many companies have also taken advantage of the system by training foreign workers then sending them home to do work of Americans.

Refinements Proposed in the New Bill:

● H-1B visas will be assigned based on the following order:

  1. STEM Master or doctoral degrees obtained in the US
  2. H-1B job positions with level 4 salary
  3. Non STEM Master or doctoral degrees obtained in the US
  4. H-1B job positions with level 3 salary
  5. STEM Bachelor Degrees obtained in the US
  6. Non STEM Bachelor Degrees obtained in the US
  7. Appeals for Schedule A Occupations
  8. Employers with the Following Criteria in the order of priority :
    • E-Verified Employer
    • Not Under Investigations
    • No Violations of Immigration Laws or Labor Laws for 5 years
    • Record of 90% approval of H-1B Petitions
    • Filed I-140 Petitions for 90% of H-1B Employees
  9. All other H-1B visa petitions

● Limit the stay period to 3 years instead of 6 years if the employee doesn`t have i-140 aaproved

Prevent the employment of H-1B and L-1 visa workers when a company employs more than 50 people and has more than 50% of employees can be H-1B and L-1 visa holders.

● Before a company can file a petition for a H-1B or L-1 worker, the job must be posted on a new website 30 days before the petition is filed.1

● Allowance of the Department of Labour to increase jurisdiction over companies taking advantage of the system.

The bill will also include heightened oversight and new regulations for those with a L-1 Visa​:

● Establish a wage floor.

● Allowance of Department of Homeland Security to investigate, audit, and ensure legitimacy over the system.

● Revising the definition of “specialized knowledge.”

As a result of this proposed bill, No longer will a large portion of the available H-1B visas go to outsourcing companies. Senators of the bill have urgency to change the system to the original intent–employ specialized workers “that cannot be filled by Americans” (Grassley).

Overall, the Grassley-Durbin reform bill hopes to eliminate companies from taking advantage of the system.
