Hi,

Seems like the problem is real till the fate of the immigration bill is decided one way or the other... read this:

The new immigration bill may actually may things worse. Even though the number of H1Bs will be increased, each H1 B will be valid only for 2 years at a time, after which the worker has to leave the US for a year! (as compared to the present validity of 6 years) . This is quite impractical and not many employers are going to hire internationals if they have to deal with this kind of crazy rule. The Green card process is also going to take a big hit for skilled immigrants.

Basically this bill is skewed to benefit the 12 million strong illegal immigrants. The Hispanic lobby in the US is very strong while there is no comparable lobby for skilled migrants.

I for one am actually regretting my decision not to have applied to Europe/ UK :( would give anything for an LBS or INSEAD right now (I am heading to a top 10 US school this fall)

Bombaydude this info that H1 is valid for 2 years is true..if tis happens then I believe lot of international would not be applying to US B school n otherwise tis would be used by Europe and UK to leverage this in there favor

I m planning to apply next fall..I dont know whether I should apply now or not

Can anyone please guide me through this process..

Hey any views anybody wants to share on this concern I think this is a major concern and something needs to be done in this case becoz who so ever is planning to apply to US Bschools needs to consider this fact very seriously..and this is a major factor before one considering applying to US Bschools becoz of the heavy loans one take and then comes the payback time what do u say guys?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????

I request pagalguy n other gurus to show the right path...

Thanx a lot guys!!!!!!!!

This news is not new - I am surprised you guys haven't heard about this through other sources or through research. I have already posted regarding US work visa problems in other threads though. Having lived in US for more than 8 years (now studying in Rotman, Toronto), the last 2 years or so have been increasingly tough on international students..this article only talks about the top schools - imagine the problems faced by the students beyond top15-20 schools!

But yeah this is definitely true - even my cousin in Ross (Michigan) told me about problems faced by international students who are looking for jobs in non-IB or non-consulting firms..and now with this visa cap, even these companies are finding it hard to sponsor work visas..unless the US improves its H1 and immigration systems, I advise all to consider non-US schools too.

it doesn't change overnight - it takes a long time through immigration bills in the senate. As of now, its pretty bad and many Indians are not aware of it.
