H1B Limitation from Obama's Stimulus Package

帖子Adam Cheng » 2009-03-08 11:47

Below is the link to an article from Columbia Business School talking about the new limitation on H1B from firms receiving TARP. If this is a clear policy, foreign MBA students will no longer be able to get H1B sponsorship from those banks who received TARP.

From my perspective, the protectionism is a short-term thing but will still affect the recent graduates. And I don't see the point to restrict firms hiring international students from top b-schools as their compensation is the same as domestic labors.

小弟的了解是美國已經正式立法通過這項美國工作簽證"H1-b"的限制

小弟也同意這些立法,可能不會是永久的,但會影響到未來幾年的國際學生就很難預測了

這項新的H1-b法案,原本是要限制所有美國公司雇用外國人
但後來兩黨才達成協議改成只有Troubled Assets Relief Program "TARP"的公司(such as Citigroup, Bank of Amerian, AIG, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs)才受到限制

真實面,這項法案影響可能比字面的限制還要廣
1. 法案並沒有明文解釋子公司,在那些TARP母公司下,是否有受到同樣的限制
2. 現在不是TARP的公司,也會避免接受外國人,減少外來不必要的手續
3. Adam提到每年的H1-b有限制名額,在過去的兩年,抽到工作簽證的機率只有46~80% (取決於碩士生或是大學生). 所以避免新人最後沒有H1-b,所以沒有辦法上班情逛下,大部分公司申請H1-b的意願大幅下降

這項新的H1-b法案,或是對Class of 2009最有直接影響,但跟據近年移民法(包括H1-b)立法的走向,加上美國經濟現逛
美國國會重新省核H1-b的時間和機會,可能還是遙遙無期

However, 美國新上任總統在選舉期間,其中一項政見就是要改移民法,特別增加H1-b限制名額. 或許H1-b會有無預警的改變.
