They’ll cut more heads via offshoring and automation or lobby DJT to give them an exemption.

I live in the real world. Companies are offshoring significant amounts of work and are not going to backfill H1Bs with MAGA rubes.
It won’t. Read the fine print. It’s only for bringing in new people from outside the u.s. if you already have an h1-b and apply from inside the u.s. there is no change.
So the EYP pipeline. Hire from college, go to OPT visa and then h1-b no change
The whole point is to appease the nation is to make it so more US workers have work . Is it unfair to the offshore workers who have done their grind to get where they are of course? However it opens up more opportunities and presents more jobs for national citizens as cruel as it sounds.
Nope

Companies will 1) move more jobs offshore 2) get people in the US on some other visa and then apply H1B 3) zero impact on people who come to the US for study , as that’s the source for most of big tech hiring. This fee only applies to people who apply from overseas.
The rule ($100K) is applicable for new and renewal H1B’s PER YEAR . Deadline is tonight to escape coming under this rule ( say if you are overseas to get a renewal stamp and plan to travel later )

It will probably result in corporations moving more work offshore.

KPMG 1 - If consultancies lose both H1B and offshore, I suspect clients will cut back because the cost of a project will go up significantly.
What about people already on h1b who are going abroad for stamping?
If you return BEFORE the executive order goes into effect; you are fine . Otherwise not .
Can federal court undo this?

How would this question not be political you dolt?
If will result in replacement of H1B workers performing onsite/US Hours client work with equally qualified US workers at market-rate salaries. Actual highly/uniquely skilled H1B workers will not be affected and their salaries will not change. Non-visa highly skilled workers will see an increase in market rate salaries. Overall good for US workers and very bad for companies that were taking advantage of the system to bring in low wage workers to do work that could be done by US citizens.
I don’t think existing H1B’s who were issued before Sept 21 have anything to worry ( till until the H1B runs out in 5 years assuming this is Year 1 ) regarding travel etc . But please consult any immigration attorney for expert advise. Remember US regulations through any law or EO changes will never be applied retroactively.Its always effective from the date of coming unto force and into the forcible future ( until challenged by courts / individuals ) .
