Local companies and highly skilled foreign workers

The US’ immigration system is quite extensive and has multiple branches for foreigners to choose the option that best suit their needs. For instance, business immigration is one of the most used by local companies and foreign workers.

Local companies, through different visa programs, have the possibility to hire foreign personnel, from specialists in science or technology, to farmers or inexperienced workers who are normally part of the US food supply chain or the transportation and construction industry.

The H-1B visa program is one of the most used by American or US-based companies, as it allows them to hire highly qualified foreign workers. With this, we refer to professionals in areas such as technology, science, engineering and research.

Local businesses state that the H-1B visa is essential for the socioeconomic development of the US. In their view, highly skilled foreign workers bring talent, innovation, dedication, professionalism and, many of them, boost the economy by creating entrepreneurship projects and increasing job opportunities for the American population.

The change of administration and business immigration

During the last four years, under the current administration of the US, headed by President Donald Trump, business immigration has been substantially restricted, mainly after the sudden arrival of the global Coronavirus pandemic to the North American territory.

President Trump states, along with his cabinet, that foreign workers take away opportunities from local workers by accepting lower wages and that, in times of crisis, the government should try to control business immigration to reduce the unemployment rate and protect the employment of American workers.

Local companies using the H-1B visa program clearly disagree with the Trump administration. They state that reducing business immigration in times of crisis only delays international competitiveness and reduces the possibilities for the country to overcome the crisis.

However, the fact that Democratic nominee Joe Biden won the most recent presidential election is truly positive news for both H-1B visa holders currently residing in the US, and local companies using this service.

H-1B visa holders look forward to beneficial changes with Biden-Harris

The Biden-Harris administration has a different view than Trump when it comes to business immigration. The president-elect supports immigration in general and states that foreign workforce is a key piece to overcome the current crisis and that, thanks to local communities and immigrant communities, the US is a world power in sectors such as technology and science.

Therefore, according to the testimony of H-1B visa holders, the Biden government definitely opens a door of hope for them, who also wish to reside in the US indefinitely to find economic stability and support their beloved ones.
