[Tree] The economic benefits of marriage equality and its impact on skilled workers

Version 0.34 (2024-08-11 19:02:23.945000)

updates: The study by Washington State University reveals the economic benefits of marriage equality and its impact on skilled workers. The study found a 21% decrease in new H-1B visa applications from European Union countries that legalized same-sex marriage. The recognition of same-sex marriage serves as a non-monetary incentive for attracting and retaining foreign skilled workers. The study also highlights the potential benefits of marriage equality in promoting migration within the United States. Discriminatory policies against same-sex marriages can harm the economy by deterring skilled labor. The Biden administration's efforts to expedite employment-based visas align with the goal of attracting and retaining skilled workers. The recruitment service eb3.work assists employers in recruiting qualified foreign national workers to address labor shortages. The impact of these measures on nonimmigrant visa issuance during the election year remains to be seen.

Version 0.2 (2024-05-24 03:52:56.697000)

updates: The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has implemented a sharp rise in H-1B visa fees, including a 2050% increase in the registration fee and a $600 asylum fee. This fee hike poses challenges for Indian IT service providers who heavily depend on H-1B visas to bring highly skilled professionals to the US. The fee increases could result in employers spending over $33,000 in legal and government fees for each H-1B visa petition. Immigration experts warn that the fee hikes may force Indian IT companies to exit the visa process altogether. Nasscom, an industry association, also expressed concerns about the impact of the fee hikes on their member companies. The increase in filing fees comes at a time when there is a significant demand-supply gap in skills availability. The proposed modernization rule provisions, which aim to narrow the criteria for 'specialty occupation' and H-1B employees staffed at third parties, could have serious consequences if implemented in the future. Some experts believe that the fee hikes will lead to a decrease in the use of H-1B visas over time, while others suggest that companies will continue to bear the costs to secure the skills they need. Indian heritage companies have started to absorb the fee increase, viewing it as a cost of doing business in the US. However, the fee increase could become a burden for India-born workers caught up in green card backlogs, as H-1B extensions will need to be filed repeatedly on their behalf [9bbe1a50].
