Instead of a flat fee, they should just auction off the visas, highest salaries win.
This has been proposed before and I don't really see any downsides. If your company really needs them, just pay them what they're actually worth.
- HanClinto 1y agoWow, I really like this.
- scheme271 1y agoThis insures that tech and finance get all the visas. A lot of things like rural medicine gets staffing through h1b sponsored physicians and likewise for post-docs and researchers. If this gets implemented across the board, a lot of science is going to disappear and a lot of medical care (especially outside of cities) is going to get a lot worse.
- peripitea 1y agoDon't worry all those rural hospitals are about to shut down anyway.
- digianarchist 1y agoThey should cap visas issued by sector or DoL job families. It's way too skewed towards tech.
- guywithahat 1y agoI like the idea of an auction, but why would we not charge a significant application fee? It ensures the company is serious about the position, and it raises money citizens won't have to pay. A high fee/tax seems like a win-win
- leet_thow 1y agoI believe there is upcoming legislation along those lines and that the adjustments announced today are those within the executive branches purview.
