Folks:
Yesterday the Senate passed (96 to 1) a bill to increase the quota of H1B
Visas from 115,000 to 200,000. Also a few interesting changes have been
made to the law. The most important one is as follows:
"Previously, temporary workers could not accept another job other than the
on they accepted as part of the visa program, thus damping competition for
wages and workers. The Bill allows them to accept new employment when the
prospective employer files for an H1B worker"
This measure will certainly help remove the "indentured servant" nature of
the H1B program. Also the competition for jobs will definitely increase.
