A policy change would have implications beyond college campuses. Economics professor Bruce Sacerdote wrote in an email statement to The Dartmouth that amending the H-1B program would also negatively affect the economy in general.

The H-1B visa program has long been a lightning rod in debates about immigration and employment. Designed to bring the best and brightest talent from around the world to the United States, the program has been hailed as a driver of innovation;

Key steps in obtaining an H-1B visa include. 1. Finding a sponsor. The journey begins with securing a job offer from a U.S.-based employer willing to sponsor the visa. This can be a daunting task, especially for individuals living abroad, for employers often hesitate due to the costs and uncertainties of sponsorship.

A debate over the program for skilled foreign workers has pitted immigration hard-liners against some of President Trump’s most influential supporters in the tech industry.

But there’s ample evidence the H-1B helps pretty much everyone else. Workers who enter the country on visas go on to start and run billion-dollar companies. Musk says he entered the country on a visa. He now runs Tesla, which employs more than 100,000 people .

President Donald Trump’s immigration policies affect a wide range of people who arrived in the United States through various ways. It can be confusing to grasp which group of immigrants are affected by the executive orders and directives as dozens of federal statuses are in effect.

For every H-1B visa holder who thrives in and contributes to our country’s economy and culture, we can point to many more students already in the U.S. who have few opportunities to develop their strengths into true excellence.

Vivek Ramaswamy has said that Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday will bring the "dawn of a new Golden Age."

Disney fired hundreds of American IT staff 10 years ago in Orlando, Florida, and replaced many of them with “high-skilled” foreign workers on H-1B visas, according to the New York

The Durham-Chapel Hill area is the 13th largest metro area for Immigrants with an H-1B visa from 2010-2016, and has only grown since then. The growth in the tech industries in places like Raleigh has occurred parallel to the rise in H-1B visa applications. But it’s not just the tech industry that draws H-1B visa applications.

The policy — on hold for now after a legal challenge — felt cruel and vindictive, and upended his understanding of what’s possible for holders of H-1B visas for highly skilled workers.

Trump’s orders are ramping up enforcement, leading to more denials and deportations for H-1B visa violators. Increased audits and stricter criteria mean fewer opportunities for mid-level professionals to maintain their status.
