New Proposals to Toughen U.S. Visa Laws
http://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2013/03/21/new-proposals-to-
Proposed U.S. legislation aimed at making it harder for Indian companies to
acquire visas for workers may hurt India’s technology outsourcing services
companies.
Proposed U.S. legislation aimed at making it harder for Indian companies to
acquire visas for workers they send to America could throw up new hurdles
for India’s technology outsourcing services companies.
The proposal, dubbed H1-B and L-1 Visa Reform Act of 2013, seeks to deny
skilled-foreign-worker visas to foreign firms operating in the U.S. who are
deemed to be relying too heavily on expatriates rather than hiring locally.
The bill aims to deny new H1B, or skilled-worker, visas to those firms with
more than 50 employees and 50% or more of its employees already on this visa.
The proposal also requires companies to list vacancies on a U.S. labor
department sponsored website for a period of 30 days, before hiring foreign
workers.
It also asks companies to pay prevailing wages to visaholders, ensure more
scrutiny and seeks to raise penalties on those companies flouting existing
visa rules.
They seek to double penalties on administrative violations to $2,000. For
deliberate attempt to flout the rules the law suggests a fine of $10,000, up
from $5,000. Such companies may be barred from future recruiting of
employees under H1-B and L-1 visas, the draft legislation proposes.
