H1B Problems for 2011
Well here we go again. In 2007 and 2008 the H1B visas ran out the first day (April 1), and then last year companies were prevented from using the program (TARP funding), and the California Service Center went crazy with inappropriate Requests for Evidence. So its only natural as we look ahead to April 1, 2010, for H1B visas for fiscal 2011, that there is a new problem. Since all requests now have to go to one place through one system its just typical government that the system does not work. Instead of getting the information back quickly (old system) the new system has gone down repeatedly, in December there were temporary regulations to allow processing in advance of receiving responses, and now we are hearing there are 60 day delays. That means that even April 1 filing is impossible. I guess on the bright side it means visas can’t run out the first day, since people can’t apply…
Why does our government get everything so wrong? Sometimes the government inefficiencies create opportunity, but in this case all it does is perpetuate the recession, make it harder to hire people, and encourage people to off shore projects or labor. Where is the value in that?
