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.

Lawsuits possible: Releasing this policy change at the start of the application filing window is going to rankle companies who used 17-year-old policy guidance to apply for this year's visas. Some companies may challenge the guidance on the grounds that USCIS didn't provide sufficient notice of the change.

Agree, what is being said. Some good south indians are getting bad name along with 90% of us who have fake experience or resume. More than that they don't know how to talk and eat.

I have always had tremendous amount of respect for the South Indian culture, food, traditions and be it Tamil, Telugu, Kannada or Malayalam . The South Indian culture is a very rich and unique culture in India, which has carried over their traditions and heritage over years. It has always stuck to the rich roots and traditions, inspite of travelling to different countries. Although,Its really disappointing to seeing people tearing each other apart like this, given these circumstances. Please give a deaf year to negativity and embrace one another. Just a well wishing suggestion

Culture, food and traditions are in one place and attitude and ethic is on other side buddy. Deep down in heart you agree with this.

Being a North Indian ,I dont agree with using south indian in this context ,generally all Indians fake resumes ,I myself have seen north indians faking resume too , guyz this not about north indian vs south indian , Indians in general fake CVs to get into Job market ,which is not a good practice

Agree on this ,
One cannot measure fakes by %. Its not like some states/regions are doing more than other.
Fake itself is wrong, so better to stop blaming other.
