i don’t know how this suspension would work but the H1B is held in April. I would assume most people have had their visa processed by now but it’s possible i’m just if ignorant.

Regarding suspending H1Bs here is some not so breaking news: people on those visas are targeting jobs where no qualified people exist to fill them. Those people, by coming to the US create real value and increase the economic output of the US. They are also, in general, really smart people that fuel innovation. If you kill innovation the US is done.




Application process starts in April but even when visa is approved and processed, the holder can’t enter before October 1.


yeah. it starts in October but they cannot take the visa back, right?


Apparently all visa holders will be denied entry so basically they can’t enter until this order expires.


i did not pick this up from the linke article. i guess if your business relies in H1B workers now you know which camp you need to support.
