google news article중에 본 것인데, 2/26일자. 인도 신문. 적어도 h1 쿼터에 대해서는 전세계에서 제일 민감하게 반응하면서 신속 정확한 곳이 인도계 신문입니다.
대략 보건데, 3월이 되어도 quota 늘리는 소식이 없으니, 올해는 더 비관적이고, 미국에서 학위를 따도 h1을 못받는 경우가 생길듯 하군요.Having filled the quota in May 2006, this year, it’s largely believed to breach its cap by April 15. Two years ago, the H1B quota finished on August 9. Last year, it finished on May 25.
US president George Bush has publicly advocated raising the H1B cap, giving a bigger profile to the immigration debate currently raging in the US. “We’ve got to expand what’s called H1B visas… I feel strongly about what I’m telling you. It makes no sense to say to a young scientist from India, you can’t come to America to help this company develop technologies that help us deal with our problems,” Bush had said.
The H1B visa programme is currently capped at 65,000. High-tech industry in the US and India has been lobbying, along with Indian-American advocacy groups, for increasing the cap to 115,000. Legislation to this effect failed to make the grade in the last Congress, and with elections coming up, its prospects this year are uncretain.
