Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv in the article:
Rajiv S Khanna, managing attorney at Immigration.com, said: “If you are a student, particularly in a STEM field, graduating from a US university will give you a major competitive advantage in securing an H-1B visa over applicants with foreign degrees.” The absolute first priority for H-1B visas will go to graduates who have earned a master’s degree or Ph.D. in a STEM field from a US institution,” he added.
The bill includes whistle-blower protections to shield H-1B and L-1 workers who report underpayment or other violations. According to Khanna, for young professionals on a visa, this is a critical protection. It gives them the security to report violations, such as not being paid the promised wage, without the fear of being fired and losing their immigration status.
