Trump’s new rule on H-1B visa, American companies dragged the government to court:

News India Live, Digital Desk: US Immigration : A big controversy has arisen in America regarding H-1B visa. The Donald Trump administration has made such a new rule that America’s own big companies have become angry and they have opened a front against the government. One of America’s largest business organizations, US Chamber of Commercehas dragged the Trump administration to court in this matter.

This matter is directly related to thousands of Indian professionals who dream of going to America on H-1B visa every year.

After all, what is this new rule over which there is an uproar?

The Trump administration has implemented a new rule, under which companies will now have to submit documents with every H-1B visa application. $10,000 (about Rs 8.3 lakh) An additional fee will have to be paid.

The government says that this is the “Asylum Program Fee”, which means that this money will be used for programs related to refugees.

Why are American companies angry?

The US Chamber of Commerce and other business groups say that this step of the government is completely illegal and absurd. He has said many big things in his petition in the court:

1. It is illegal: The companies argue that you cannot legally take money from skilled workers coming for jobs and spend it on any other program (refugee program). This is a violation of the rights given by Congress.
2. Loss to American business: He says that this rule will put a huge financial burden on American companies. Hiring talented foreign employees will become so expensive that many companies will not be able to do so.
3. Benefit to other countries: Canada, Australia and other countries will directly benefit from this, where the rules for skilled workers are easier. Companies will turn to these countries to hire talent.
4. Lack of talent: There is already a shortage of competent people in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields in America. This new rule will increase this shortage further.

What will happen next now? This should be banned so that it is not just a fee issue, but it will have a deep impact on America’s immigration policy and the business environment there.

If the court’s decision is taken by the companies, then it will be a big deal for thousands of Indians thinking of going to America on H-1B visa, but if this rule remains in force then going to America to work in future may become more expensive and difficult.
