Computer programmers may no longer be eligible for H-1B visas
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services quietly over the weekend released
new guidance that computer programmers are no longer presumed to be eligible
for H-1B visas.
What it means: This aligns with the administration's focus on reserving the
temporary visas for very high-skilled (and higher-paid) professionals while
encouraging low- and mid-level jobs to go to American workers instead. The
new guidance affects applications for the lottery for 2018 fiscal year that
opened Monday.
What comes next: Companies applying for H-1B visas for computer programming
positions will have to submit additional evidence showing that the jobs are
complex or specialized and require professional degrees. Entry-level wages
attached to these visa applications will also get more scrutiny. The change
appears to target outsourcing companies, who typically employ lower-paid,
lower-level computer workers.
