Trump changed his mind to deprive foreign workers of the right to extend H-1B visas

The Trump administration has distanced itself from the initiative to ban the extension of the H-1B visa, on which qualified specialists work in the United States for the period of consideration of an application for a green card. According to current legislation, the H-1B visa entitles you to work in the United States for 3 years and can be extended for another 3 years after its expiration.

According to rumors, the changes would significantly affect foreign workers in the United States, but the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) assures that there are no such policy changes.

Jonathan Stington, head of public affairs for US citizenship and immigration, noted that the agency is exploring possible changes in the light of the “Buy American Hire Americans” order, which the president signed last April.

USCIS clarified its position in a statement TechCrunch:

“We can say that USCIS is not considering regulatory changes that would force H-1B visa holders to leave the United States, changing our interpretation of section 104(c) of AC-21. Even if this were the case, such a change would be unlikely to result in H-1B visa holders having to leave the United States because employers would be able to request visa extensions in one-year increments under Section 106(a)-( b) AC21 instead."

“The Trump administration's decision to abandon this counterproductive proposal is a positive step forward,” said Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, the Democratic co-chair of the bipartisan US Congress.

The statement follows after reports that the Trump administration regards the question of tightening the rules of the visa H-1B, which may lead to deportation.

This is not Trump's first initiative to limit the scope of H-1B visa holders. In December, the White House proposed abolish the right of H-1B spouses to work in the USA.

In February 2015, the administration of Barack Obama allowed the spouses of such migrants to legally seek employment in the United States in order to “reduce the economic burden and personal stresses” for highly skilled immigrants. Now Trump wants to reverse this decision.

The H-1B visa is played out and issued on the principle of a lottery to highly qualified specialists who want to come to work in the USA - on average, about 65 thousands of foreign specialists a year become “winners”. This program is most popular among employers in the IT industry (about 1% of employees work on an H-15B visa Facebook).
