I heard from a friend in EY that they got this official email about potential executive order to bar certain employee based visa categories from getting jobs / entry to US

I always thought Shri Trump was India's friend. We even got a stadium packed in Ahmedabad for him. It is sad considering that Indians on H1Bs like me will be the ones that are the most impacted.

Lesson learned - don't trust a racist to be your friend. He will use your goodwill and throw you under the bus.

Trump base is vile but Trump is viler if that is a word. I would not take a Trump check to the bank if I were you. He is all about enriching himself and he will throw us under the bus for re-election. There are many folks that I have talked to in my firm who have been in H1B for a while with pending applications at a stages of GC and their american dreams is in hands of one guy. One guy whose attitude towards POC (including H1Bs) is racist.

Our best bet is a federal judge intervening and this EO getting challenged in the courts.

Most of the job losses due to covid has been in the hospitality and airline industries with a historical low count of h1b's in these sectors (h2a maybe for hotels). But then why would the administration let facts get in the way of agenda during an election year

Objectively - Durbin is doing exactly what is right for his constituents. He has every right to protect them as their elected representatives. In fact, Durbin is very much like Modi. Modi also is all about Indians being self sufficient and self reliant, and India First. Durbin and Trump are saying the same thing - Americans first.

my husband works in EY. let me check with him.

It went to all folks on Visa

True

This is true. We just received this note in our regular Immigration Bulletin from EY Law

Ms OP - Where does the bulletin say ANYTHING about getting jobs for visa holders?!

That’s just how I interpreted the last line. Maybe I read too much into it ?what do you think that could mean?

Yeah. It is no secret that the administration’s stance is to curb net new employment to visa holders (and I think it also includes existing visa holders) to give citizens a more favorable opportunity in the current economic landscape. What would suck is to make life difficult from a traveling POV for valid visa / 797 holders.

Major announcement pertaining to H1B expected in the near future. Possible H1B ban for an indefinite period of time.
