Does anyone know what cost savings are they talking about?
- duskwuff 9y agoCost savings by the DHS by not having to process H4 applications.
- thisisit 9y agoHow does DHS save money by not processing these visas? Additionally what about the second cost saving?
- duskwuff 9y agoProcessing any kind of paperwork takes time and costs money. If the applications are no longer accepted, those costs no longer exist. The second impact is an increase in costs, not a savings. It's referring to the fact that companies who currently have H4 employees will lose those employees, and will incur costs in replacing them.
- product50 9y agoThey could have just charged a higher fees to process the applications if this was truly about cost.
- cylinder 9y agoWrong, USCIS is funded by filing fees.
- duskwuff 9y agoKeep in mind I'm not endorsing this analysis. I'm just trying to interpret it.
