> I'm also curious how this works with all the recent layoffs. Why do employers even need H1B applications when they've so recently laid off so many, some of whom are already H1B holders and have been put in a precarious position of having to find a new job or leave the country (within 60 days)?
Except the (very public) meltdowns at Twitter and Meta, layoffs were by far dominated by "tech adjacent" roles (like DEI advocates, recruiters, HR, "Solution Managers" whatever that means).
- jmyeet 3y agoI know some people who were laid off at Meta, Google and Amazon. They may not have been proportionately affected but these positions weren't unaffected. Lay off any SWEs, PMs, data engineers or whatever should invalidate you from filing visa petitions for those or similar roles for 2 years. You can hire back those people.
