Is it the beginning of the end for H1B path in US?

See this post 40 percent silent layoffs in VMware ( stopping all immigration) (Tech Industry) https://www.teamblind.com/us/s/ieMj4WUX  Also, many companies, including big ones, stopped filing PERM Also, now the availability of tech talent already in US is sky high, with so many people immigrating in the past few years. Also, the second generation of immigrants have also started occupying tech jobs, which previously was not available in the local population. So local supply is increasing.

Yes and No. once Mr. Trump becomes president he will make sure to give them the priority and bring merit based system.

Trump gets in again and kiss any type of immigration goodbye. He suspended new H1Bs during his last year in office.

Its funny because I’ve heard so many Trump supporters say the exact opposite.

But it’s the beginning of illegal immigrants. The boarder is wide open! You just need to adapt to the latest situation

Cadence yertpsfflp Feb 27

Lmao. Meanwhile I got grilled by a immigration officer trying to enter legally at an airport

Yeah we should just fly to mexico, walk through the boarder, get an EAD and back to work. Much faster than getting GC through the front door.

The company can’t file for perm if it had layoffs, this is law. And most of the companies had layoffs in the last year. Diversity programs illuminated the needs for h1. The US vacuumed more than enough software engineers from all kind of diversity groups

The actual decision makers in Washington DC are not stupid. America needs more blue collar workers. Hence the southern borders are open. America doesn’t need white collar workers that much. So immigration, that too from overpopulated countries is not a necessity. The best of the best are allowed hence O1, EB1.. System is working as designed (I am saying this as Indian)

You must already got a GC

The Pentagon is a defense facility not a legislative or executive building

I think this is very specific to VMWare. Companies are not broadly targeting H1bs like this AFAIK

Amazon cXwc31 Feb 27

They should start

2nd generation of kids born in America to parents from India will crush this current crop of students coming

The H1b pool is too big to target now. What will slow down are new roles that support H1B or international transfer within companies. That may be bad news for F1 students with loans.
