H-1B SALARY HIKE: US proposes raising entry-level wages to $97,746. Is the era of cheap tech labor over? https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/h1b-visa-salary-increase-30-percent-dol-proposal-2026-xlsfiy53?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #H1B #VisaNews #USWorkVisa #TechJobs #DOL

Do U.S. voters realize the scale and cost of the 47th #POTUS's *drastic* #immigration "slow-walking"?
This backlog is bigger than ALL FOUR YEARS of the 45th POTUS's term.
It's stopped TONS of #science by removing work authorization from LOADS of #scientists who were ALREADY LEGALLY WORKING HERE FOR YEARS (e.g., when graduating Ph.D. #students or #postdocs have to transition to an H-1B #visa when OPT expires).
We had to halt multiple #decisionScience projects when a Research Project Manager completed their doctorate. Why? Because #USCIS simply isn't processing certain #OPT applications — and #H1B processing is much slower than normal times. In the past year, the #UnitedStates multiplied this loss of #innovation and #productivity by HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS! And with no detectable benefit to #security, etc.
Naturally, the highest-skilled foreign nationals are taking their skills to other countries, contributing to further #brainDrain from the #USA.
Incredible waste and inefficiency.

#Texas Gov #GregAbbott ordered an investigation into the #H1B #visa program in the state, & directed #state agencies & #universities to suspend new visa petitions.
"In light of recent reports of abuse in the federal H-1B visa program, & amid the federal government’s ongoing review of that program to ensure American jobs are going to American workers, I am directing all state agencies to immediately freeze new H-1B visa petitions," Abbott said.

CW: H-1B US visa question
There is a #Trump proclamation (few months old) that imposes an additional fine ($100k) for applying to a new H1-B visa (the type that is used a lot by researchers).
Does anyone know for sure (with a source please) if this applies to those who are already in the US (for any reason, e.g. you were on a different visa or you are in the grace period of a visa)?
The original proclamation is here and doesn't mention exceptions for already being in the country, just that it doesn't apply to H-1B renewals...

Apple ostrzega pracowników: „Nie wyjeżdżajcie z USA, bo możecie nie wrócić”. Powodem… kontrola social mediów
Praca w Apple Park to marzenie wielu, ale dla tysięcy inżynierów na wizach właśnie zamieniła się w „złotą klatkę”.
Apple, Google i Microsoft rozsyłają do swoich pracowników pilne notatki: jeśli wyjedziecie z USA na święta, możecie utknąć za granicą nawet na rok. Wszystko przez procedury wizowe, które wymagają pełnego prześwietlenia cyfrowego życia. Co istotne, social media screening istnieje w USA od 2019 roku, te przepisy się nie zmieniły teraz, zaostrzono jedynie procedury.
Kancelaria prawna Fragomen (obsługująca Apple) wysłała do pracowników na wizach H-1B (specjaliści) jasny komunikat: „Stanowczo odradzamy podróże międzynarodowe”.
Pokaż Facebooka, albo nie wjedziesz
Powodem paraliżu nie jest wirus czy polityczny ban, ale biurokracja i inwigilacja. USA wprowadziły nowe wymogi „social media screening” dla wnioskujących o wizy (i ich rodzin). Co to oznacza w praktyce?
Wnioskodawca musi podać wszystkie nazwy użytkownika (handles) z serwisów społecznościowych z ostatnich 5 lat. Wymagane jest ustawienie profili jako publiczne, aby urzędnik konsularny mógł przejrzeć historię aktywności.
Rok czekania na powrót
Nowe procedury sprawiły, że systemy w ambasadach (m.in. w Irlandii czy Wietnamie) się zatkały. Czas oczekiwania na „pieczątkę” w paszporcie wydłużył się w skrajnych przypadkach do 12 miesięcy. Choć wymóg ujawniania kont w mediach społecznościowych formalnie istnieje od kilku lat, obecnie został rozszerzony i zaostrzony proceduralnie — co w praktyce oznacza ręczną analizę profili i gigantyczne opóźnienia.
Dla Apple to gigantyczny problem operacyjny – tylko w 2024 roku firma złożyła wnioski o 3880 wiz H-1B. Jeśli ci ludzie wyjadą teraz do rodzin na święta, mogą nie wrócić do biurek w Cupertino przez wiele miesięcy.
To przerażający precedens, który pokazuje, że w cyfrowym świecie granice państw zaczynają przebiegać także przez profile na Instagramie i X (Twitterze).

I had looked into the H-1B visa program back in the 1990s when my parents were pushing me to emigrate to the US. Even back then it was being massively gamed by the tech firms and consultancies.
https://youtu.be/vCyyyBZVcLMI ultimately chose to take my chances with the British work permit scheme as a path to Indefinite Leave to Remain and eventual British citizenship.
Although I dodged the dot-com crash, I faced being indentured labour to a narcissist bosshole for 8 years.

Colleagues doing collegial things. Their monster remains in the White House. More Senate-appointed monsters control the Supreme Court. They want this hell. They want troops in our streets. I don't care what they say. If they can DO THIS, they can remove a 34-time felon and rapist.
They don't want to. Don't start with me about how wonderful Democrats are, or we'll have a discussion about Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and tough-on-crime laws that ripped Black households apart, and sent one sap to prison for life for stealing a hammer from a chain store.
The Senate wants everything that's happening to us, or the Democrats WOULD NOT be DOING A DAMN THING with REPUBLICANS until REPUBLICANS DID THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY!
They just don't give two shits for us. We don't make them rich. We're all just annoying parasites to American fascism. It's all about the money, now that money is speech, and the criminality of the rich is constitutionally protected speech, if they include a little extortion. Free speech.
It's lies upon more lies built upon a foundation of deceit held in place by the common glue of child rape and Russian money.
How are our farmers doing this year? They'll ask their chefs.

Michio Kaku, an American theoretical physicist, science communicator, professor of theoretical physics at the City College of New York, summarises one of the (many) fields in which Trump🤮 is destroying America.
It is not just the economy, health care, climate change, removing decades-long bonds with partners and increasing inflation; it is America's future being moved to other countries.

When #ICE starts #kidnapping, #abducting, #disappearing the #H1b #immigrants, that's when #BIgTech will begin to give half a damn.
I expect some of the #staff that keep #DodgerStadium a #destination ballpark are the same folks who ICE wants to round up.
Seriously, I haven't followed #baseball since the #Astros were put in the junior circuit, though, allowing for #inflation, there are probably a few #Dodgers players who make over $1M, so this is petty cash.
Don't let the #marketing fool you, this is primarily intended to #protect their #assets.
