IT staffing – Is it Lawful ?
As reported on this blog, Obama’s election as President last year has seen restrictions placed on IT staffing companies. Getting a H1B Visa has become more difficult.
100′s of IT staffing companies, consisting of strong reputed staffing companies and desi consultants have run into trouble with introduction strict laws by Govt. of USA.
Where will these companies go to seek remedy?
TechServe Allaince — http://www.techservealliance.org/
TechServe Alliance, filed a lawsuit today in U.S. District Court U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Alejandro Mayorkas, Director of USCIS, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security.
The tight regulations on the IT staffing companies are seen by TechServe as an attack on the business model followed by IT staffing companies. Companies such as Vision group have since winded their operations or sold out some of their assets.
What are H1 b holders doing in this challenging situation? Sticking to the present job is one fav alternative. Getting back to native land is another (given the enthusiastic job scenario in India). Find an alternative staffing company. Go to a Primary vendor. Find a job with a US company.
