The Trump administration said on Friday it would ask companies to pay $100,000 per year for H-1B worker visas, potentially dealing a big blow to the technology sector that relies heavily on skilled workers from India as well China. Tech giants Amazon and Microsoft have already advised their foreign employees holding H-1B and H-4 visas to immediately return to the United States and urged the H-1B holders to stay in the US "for the foreseeable future", according to internal communications seen by Reuters.
In internal notes circulated to staff, Amazon urged H-1B visa holders currently in the United States to remain in the country and advised those outside the US to return before the deadline date of 12:00 AM EDT on September 21, when the Trump administration's new rules are set to take effect.
"If you have H-1B status and are in the US, stay in the country for now," Amazon stated in a note.
"We recommend H-1B and H-4 visa holders return to the US before 12:00 AM EDT on September 21," the company added.

The big question now is: if you are in India, can you return to the U.S. before Trump’s new rule takes effect?
Can you make it back to US in time?
With Trump’s new rule set to take effect at 12:00 AM EDT on September 21 (9:30 AM IST in India), many potential applicants in India are wondering if they can make it to the U.S. in time.
However, the math shows it’s not possible. As of 1:54 PM IST on September 20, there are just 19 hours and 36 minutes remaining. The fastest flights from New Delhi depart around 5:00–5:15 PM IST, but even these take over 24 hours, including one stop via Mumbai or Doha.

Just charter more than a few.
Maybe white heterosexual Christian middle aged American males can get a tech job and not live in poverty anymore? What a concept!
It’s not just white middle aged males.
My 28 year old daughter has been looking for a data analytics job for 2 years.
Why are we bringing those H-1B Indians working in India to come over here? I would prefer they stay in their own country and NOT come to the US.
I’ve been blowing off emailed job alerts and phone messages from Indian recruiters named “Chuck” who didn’t notice or don’t care that my resume’ does not list a Master’s or Bachelor’s Degree in any field, as required or preferred and according to their clients’ job description. It’s not just Chuck, it’s “Steve”, “Mike”, “Lisa”, “Tracy”,...I can’t understand them over the phone either, no matter what their names are. They seem friendly and polite enough but damn, I’ve had it with these beggars and the sound of their emaciated voices.
This whole thing is rather exciting!
At the least this gives Americans the chance to obtain jobs in STEM sector.
They can work in their homeland anyways. Plus most of the Chinese ones are probably going to be spies so its just as well they stay in Red China.
What flights from Delhi take over 24 hours?
It always takes about 24 hours to fly that far. Such never related to aircraft speed but rather waiting in airports for connections.
“if you are in India, can you return to the U.S. before Trump’s new rule takes effect?
Can you make it back to US in time?”
Now put a tariff on the economic value of these exports from India.
Not for me.
The romneys and bushes don’t give a rip what americans want. They only care what their corporate country club 1% buddies want so they can get all their family members on corporate boards like brandon did for hunter at burisma.
Why didn’t Trump do this in his first term in office one could ask.
I have a list of 6000 tech related HR emails that she may be interested in.
16 hours from Delhi to NY direct.
U-2 pilot?
Boy,
I wonder how the missing indispensable and uniquely skilled hotel receptionists, Disney clean and wait staff, or fake doctors and pharmacists that don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground but show up with a piece of paper saying their’re an MD, will impact our economy?
“”””Why didn’t Trump do this in his first term in office one could ask.”””
He was too busy trying to stay out of prison.
