X
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) came up with the new amendments for the H-1B registrations which came as a sudden surprise and rude shock to the foreign students.

The authorities have changed the selection process from the earlier random selection module to the selection process based on the wages they get, which makes the situation very tough for the foreign students as they don’t stand any chance.

The new amendment in the H-1B visas bat for increasing wage levels of workers on H-1B visas is added to boost the demand to safeguard the jobs of the local Americans, reportedly.

The new change brought by the DHS is likely to leave a devastating toll on the aspirations of the foreign students, including the Indians, who dream of going to the US and work there under H-1B visas.

US aspirants from the developing countries who study on the lines of computer science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) show their interest to work for low wages making them the major share of H-1B visa shoulders.

The US Department of Labour (DOL) coming up with a new plan to increase the prevailing wages of employees working on H-1B visas hinders the chances of foreign students.

The Outgoing United States President Donald Trump dented the chances of foreign students to get the H-1B visas.

Now, all the eyes are on US President-elect who will take over the White House from Donald Trump in late January 2021. Joe Biden announced the same during the election campaign.

During the election campaign for the US Presidential election, Joe Biden said he would bring new reforms in the H-1B visas and offered to eliminate the country-quota for Green Cards
