🛂 Silicon Valley can’t import talent like before. So it’s exporting jobs

｢ For every H-1B rejection, companies hire 0.4-0.9 employees abroad, and most of these roles are concentrated in India, China, and Canada, the study found. ｣

New personal reflection 🇺🇸

Four years living in the U.S.
What changed, what surprised me, and what I learned along the way and roadmap in lens of H-1B holder.

Would love to hear your moving-abroad experiences.

Tech giants are playing a shell game with American workers. 🛑
Step 1: Lay off thousands of qualified U.S. engineers.
Step 2: Replace them with H1B labor to slash costs.
Step 3: Direct the savings to shareholders.
The "talent shortage" is a myth—it's about labor costs, plain and simple. We need an H1B moratorium now to prioritize the workers who built this industry. #TechLayoffs #H1B #WorkforceProtection

Back in the 90s, I had a friend from #India on a #h1b say, "they don't want me here, so I will go home."

And he did.

And he is, to date, happy with that choice. He got married, has kids, and lives well. Great guy, Sanjay.

So. I have seen this before.

#Texas Gov #GregAbbott ordered an investigation into the #H1B #visa program in the state, & directed #state agencies & #universities to suspend new visa petitions.

"In light of recent reports of abuse in the federal H-1B visa program, & amid the federal government’s ongoing review of that program to ensure American jobs are going to American workers, I am directing all state agencies to immediately freeze new H-1B visa petitions," Abbott said.

At twitter, somebody posted "Gen Z are arriving to college unable to even read a sentence, per FORTUNE"

But that's going as planned.🤷🏿‍♀️ They've been at wαr wιth Black ppl thιs whole tιme. But in addition to that, the #government has allowed the #billionaires to finally wreck the white mιddle class and replace their labor with #h1b and approved immigrants. 🤷🏿‍♀️ They're tιred of hving to care abt American #labor. To them, THIS was supposed to be all of our lιves. 👇🏿

Amazon is allowing employees stranded in India due to H-1B visa delays to work remotely until March 2, but strict rules ban coding and key job functions. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/education/career/amazon-relief-india-based-staff-comes-with-heavy-restrictions-amid-visa-restrictions-tya61jvf?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Amazon #H1B #RemoteWork #VisaDelays #TechWorkers

The US government has overhauled the H-1B visa selection process, citing concerns over manipulation, wage inflation and multiple registrations that undermine fairness https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/us-changes-h-1b-selection-rules-amid-concerns-over-wage-registration-manipulation-cjcb6rmc?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #h1b #USVisa #news

Many Indians who used the H-1B system to migrate to the US for entry-level IT jobs and have also managed to secure a Green Card rank among the most rabidly anti-migrant morons in the United States. A deeply selfish bunch, perfectly content to blow up the bridge the moment they’ve crossed it.

Apple ostrzega pracowników: „Nie wyjeżdżajcie z USA, bo możecie nie wrócić”. Powodem… kontrola social mediów

Praca w Apple Park to marzenie wielu, ale dla tysięcy inżynierów na wizach właśnie zamieniła się w „złotą klatkę”.

Apple, Google i Microsoft rozsyłają do swoich pracowników pilne notatki: jeśli wyjedziecie z USA na święta, możecie utknąć za granicą nawet na rok. Wszystko przez procedury wizowe, które wymagają pełnego prześwietlenia cyfrowego życia. Co istotne, social media screening istnieje w USA od 2019 roku, te przepisy się nie zmieniły teraz, zaostrzono jedynie procedury.

Kancelaria prawna Fragomen (obsługująca Apple) wysłała do pracowników na wizach H-1B (specjaliści) jasny komunikat: „Stanowczo odradzamy podróże międzynarodowe”.

Pokaż Facebooka, albo nie wjedziesz

Powodem paraliżu nie jest wirus czy polityczny ban, ale biurokracja i inwigilacja. USA wprowadziły nowe wymogi „social media screening” dla wnioskujących o wizy (i ich rodzin). Co to oznacza w praktyce?

Wnioskodawca musi podać wszystkie nazwy użytkownika (handles) z serwisów społecznościowych z ostatnich 5 lat. Wymagane jest ustawienie profili jako publiczne, aby urzędnik konsularny mógł przejrzeć historię aktywności.

Rok czekania na powrót

Nowe procedury sprawiły, że systemy w ambasadach (m.in. w Irlandii czy Wietnamie) się zatkały. Czas oczekiwania na „pieczątkę” w paszporcie wydłużył się w skrajnych przypadkach do 12 miesięcy. Choć wymóg ujawniania kont w mediach społecznościowych formalnie istnieje od kilku lat, obecnie został rozszerzony i zaostrzony proceduralnie — co w praktyce oznacza ręczną analizę profili i gigantyczne opóźnienia.

Dla Apple to gigantyczny problem operacyjny – tylko w 2024 roku firma złożyła wnioski o 3880 wiz H-1B. Jeśli ci ludzie wyjadą teraz do rodzin na święta, mogą nie wrócić do biurek w Cupertino przez wiele miesięcy.

To przerażający precedens, który pokazuje, że w cyfrowym świecie granice państw zaczynają przebiegać także przez profile na Instagramie i X (Twitterze).
