"Most H-1B Workers From India...": Visa Holders' Petition Fearing Layoffs

[jericho]

nope, its a good topic to hit you on the butt.

I see you just interested in spamming. No where to hide after facts are shown about ways your countrymen abuse system in other countries.

Now don’t come up with restaurant and groceries store excuse. It’s Business, just like Indians claiming to be halal.

of course, sure. Until you face an angry white man calling you '****'.

There is no such thing as **** in US. Gora here go simply by looks, while Pakistani cannot be distinguished here due to large Hispanic (brown/light brown) population. Freaking Indians with skinny dark psychic will stand out from a mile away.

#2 **** is a British thing and I would imagine, being called out red dot head Indian isn’t much better even if you are in Britain.

"Most H-1B Workers From India...": Visa Holders' Petition Fearing Layoffs
The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise.

A record 3.3 million Americans have filed initial jobless claims for the week ending March 21.

Washington:

Fearing massive layoffs in America due to the coronavirus crisis that is hitting businesses around the globe, foreign technology professionals holding H-1B visas, the most sought after among Indians, have demanded the Trump administration extend their permissible post-job loss limit to stay in the US from the existing 60 to 180 days.

The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows the US companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. The technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from countries like India and China.

The current federal rules require an H-1B visa holder to leave the United States along with their family members within 60 days of losing their job.

Economic experts fear massive layoffs in various sectors of the American economy due to the current economic distress that is only going to deteriorate in coming weeks and months.

A record 3.3 million Americans have filed initial jobless claims for the week ending March 21.

Even as the peak of coronavirus in the US is some two weeks away, millions of people in the US have already lost their jobs.

According to an estimate, some 47 million people could be rendered unemployed.

Those on H-1B visas are not eligible to unemployment benefits. They are also not entitled to the social security benefits, even though there is deductions from their salary for this purpose.

Initial reports suggest that quite a number of H-1B employees are being laid off. In some cases, companies have already informed their H-1B employees that they are on top of the list of being fired.

As such, the H-1B visa holders have started a petition campaign on the White House website to extend the timeline for their stay in the US after they are being laid off.

"We request the government to temporarily extend the 60-day grace period to 180 days and protect the H1B workers under these difficult times," says the petition which so far has attracted more than 20,000 signatures.

It requires a minimum of 100,000 petitions to get a response from the White House.

The COVID-19 situation is getting worse with massive lay-offs expected. The economic conditions may have a significant impact on H1B workers, the petition says.

"Under regulations, H-1B workers have a 60-day grace period of unemployment time during each authorised validity period to stay in the USA legally. They must find new work within 60 days; otherwise, they have to leave the country," the petition said.

"Most H-1B workers are from India and cannot travel home with children who are US Citizens as many nations announced an entry ban, including India. H-1B workers cater to the economy at large, mainly supporting the IT Industry with high tax contributions," the petition says.

A total of 782,365 COVID-19 cases have been reported across more than 175 countries and territories with 37,582 deaths reported so far. America has the highest number of cases with a total of 161,807 reported infections, according to Johns Hopkins University data.

You would be lucky if they consider you Indian, my friend. Statements like these only sell on PDF. Reality is much different and you know it, lol.

Yup, reality is much different

The 'reality' changed a long time ago.

The old trope of 'Pakistanis identifying as Indians' doesn't exist except in isolated cases of self-flagellating, self-hating individuals like Tarek Fatah and company.

 

[Kaniska]

This is a purely speculative news that should not even a front page news of Indian media...I heard about this news from one of the kid who is pursuing Masters in Dallas.US Govt will rather prefer to take care of job lay off of their own citizens than H1B visa people.

 

[cloud4000]

Don't go shooting the messenger now.

Be sure to mention the countless illegal Chinese also in the US. Why are they here when China is a superpower? I'm sure it's an oversight on your part.

Why are Indians in a Pakistani forum?

Because without Indians, PDF would be a boring echo chamber.

Cuz most of them are FoB ugly and Goras endup mixing all Desis to be same.

No to mentioned Fuckers are taking over jobs usually occupied by local desis.

Sour grapes. Indians are being attacked on H-1B because they were proactive while others -- mostly Pakistani -- were sitting on their hands and hoping things would just fall in their laps.

There is no such thing as **** in US. Gora here go simply by looks, while Pakistani cannot be distinguished here due to large Hispanic (brown/light brown) population. Freaking Indians with skinny dark psychic will stand out from a mile away.

What racist BS! Like there are no dark skin Pakistanis or light skin Indians in US. Seriously, what rock did you crawled out under from?

Surely, that is only until next terrorist attack. Hopefully, that won't happen ever again.

So the good ol BS Indian claim about how others can survive without their presence, haha. Of course, there is no way for you to prove it because you would not be able to stay away

Be sure to mention the countless illegal Chinese also in the US. Why are they here when China is a superpower? I'm sure it's an oversight on your part.

This thread isnt about China or Chinese, who is stopping you to go to their thread and mention whatever issues you have with them?

Sour grapes. Indians are being attacked on H-1B because they were proactive while others -- mostly Pakistani -- were sitting on their hands and hoping things would just fall in their laps.

Interesting how you mentioned "Pakistani" about jobs in US because you wouldn't dare to say that about Americans.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

once this virus phenomenon over, demand of USMLE cleared MBBS doctors will increase

Where did you get this idea of lazy Pakistani, Pakistanis are known to be doctors, Engineering and entrepreneur here. Pakistani Americans are outstanding citizen and overachiever when compared to local population.

Where as H1-B Indian are coming in Hordes to fill in basic IT and Nursing jobs with their 15 to 25 years of experience. While old and experienced Indians are running up and down in nursing wards, local gora, Kala
With their 5 year experience are sitting on their bum, watching Indian do the labour work.

What racist BS! Like there are no dark skin Pakistanis or light skin Indians in US. Seriously, what rock did you crawled out under from?

Light skin western/ Northern Indian rather prefer to Hang out with Pakistanis than S. Indians.

These morons now taking jobs from locals in Canada, willing to work at half the salary while 8 of them living in a two bed apartment.

 

[Nilgiri]

Yes, why are Pakistanis so concerned about Indian immigration, legal or illegal, to US?

It's not really concern, its butthurt at the reality they have to live with each day:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_groups_in_the_United_States_by_household_income

Its the same situation if you check that for UK, Canada, Australia, you name it.

Then you go to a Pakistani run restaurant/grocery, and its called "Indian" or "Pakistani-Indian" or some cringey variant of that most of the time. Affirmation of where muh-izzat ends and basic livelihood reality sense begins.

PDF is just a little easy-come easy go echo chamber for bulk of troll-mob ppl to vent a bit....a virtual safe space from cold reality etc.

Understanding the true purpose of this place for most of this mob...is one step to getting towards empathy....then you learn to just ignore that and focus on those actually worth engaging here...and likely have some actual self-worth in real life too.

 

[ApparentRaceTraitor]

This is why Canada rules, sure you can come in and work, but oh wait you're an IIT graduate or a LUMS graduate or a graduate from 3rdworldtotallynumber1 Uni? No problem, take bridging courses first otherwise you start from the bottom. Tough shit desis.

Yankees need to stop taking the path of least resistance and prioritize jobs for their own citizens first rather than letting some Sandip/Bilal/Xiao Li into the country only to send money back home rather than letting it circulate in America's economy.

Otherwise the united states of dumbfuckistan will continue remaining the united states of dumbfuckistan.

"fearing lay offs"? it has already begun for indian contractors...only indians who were hired as permanent employees by actual americslan software companies have some saving grace where they can have their visa renewed but if an indian was here working as a contractor from an outsourcing firm (which makes up more than three quarters of indians on h1 visas) then they are done for, no visa renewals for them...
