Microsoft on Saturday advised its H-1B and H-4 visa employees to return to the
United States immediately, ahead of the September 21 deadline announced by
President Donald Trump after he imposed a $100,000 annual fee on the program,
according to an internal email seen by Reuters.
路透社看到的一封內部電郵顯示,微軟於週六建議持有 H-1B 和 H-4 簽證的員工立刻返
回美國,以趕在川普總統宣布的 9 月 21 日最後期限前回國。這是因為川普對該計畫徵
收每年 10 萬美元的費用。
The world's second largest tech firm further advised its H-1B visa employees
that are currently already in the US to continue working in the country for
the "foreseeable future".
這家全球第二大科技公司還建議目前已經在美國的 H-1B 簽證員工,在「可預見的未來」
都留在美國工作。
"H-1B visa holders should stay in the US for the foreseeable future. Also
recommend H-4 visa holders remain in the US. Strongly recommend H-1B and H-4
visa holders return to the US tomorrow before the deadline," parts of the
email viewed by the news agency read.
電郵部分內容寫道:「H-1B 簽證持有人應在可預見的未來留在美國。我們也建議 H-4 簽
證持有人留在美國。強烈建議 H-1B 與 H-4 簽證持有人在截止日期前(明天)返回美國
。」
The memo comes as one of the first reactions of a tech giant amid concerns
over how the fee could affect the IT sector. In addition to Microsoft,
JPMorgan has also advised H-1B visa holders currently outside the United
States to return before 12:01 a.m. ET on September 21, according to an
internal email reviewed by Reuters.
這份備忘錄是科技巨頭對此政策最早的反應之一,因為人們擔心新費用將衝擊 IT 產業。
根據路透社看到的另一封內部電郵,除了微軟之外,摩根大通也建議目前在美國境外的 H
-1B 簽證持有人,務必於美東時間 9 月 21 日凌晨 12:01 前返回美國。
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick defended the new rules as a corrective
measure, claiming that previous employment-based visa policies allowed workers
earning below-average salaries, many of whom relied on government assistance,
to enter the country.
商務部長 Howard Lutnick 為這項新規辯護,稱其為一種矯正措施。他指出,以往的就業
簽證政策允許薪資低於平均水準的外國勞工入境,其中許多人甚至依靠政府補助維生。
He added that the revised program would filter out the “bottom quartile”
while generating more than $100 billion for the US Treasury. Trump further
said that the revenue would be used to reduce national debt and lower taxes.
他補充說,這項修訂計畫將篩掉「薪資最低的四分之一」勞工,同時為美國財政部創造超
過 1000 億美元收入。川普進一步表示,這些收入將用來減少國債並降低稅收。
For India, Trump's announcement has far-reaching consequences as roughly 71%
of H-1B visa holders are Indian, the majority employed in the technology
sector.
對印度而言,川普的宣布影響深遠,因為大約 71% 的 H-1B 簽證持有人是印度人,而且
多數受僱於科技產業。
Major IT firms such as Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, and Tata Consultancy
Services have long depended on the program to place engineers and developers
in US projects. With visas typically valid for three years and renewable up to
six, the new $100,000 annual fee could make it prohibitively expensive for
companies to retain Indian professionals, especially given the decades-long
wait for Green Cards.
像 Infosys、Wipro、Cognizant 和 Tata Consulting Services 這類主要 IT 公司長期
依靠該計畫,派遣工程師和開發人員參與美國專案。由於 H-1B 簽證通常有效期三年、最
長可延長至六年,新的每年 10 萬美元費用可能會使企業難以負擔留用印度專業人才的成
本,特別是在綠卡等待期往往長達數十年的情況下。
Reuters reported that shares of IT services companies, including US-listed
Indian firms, dropped between 2% and 5% following the announcement. Critics
told the news agency that the measure discourages talent mobility and
innovation. Supporters, however, argue that it will prevent wage suppression
and compel companies to invest in training American graduates instead.
路透社報導,在消息公布後,包括在美國上市的印度 IT 公司在內的股價下跌 2% 至 5%
。批評者告訴路透,這項措施會打擊人才流動與創新。但支持者則認為,這能防止壓低工
資,並迫使企業改為投資培訓美國畢業生。
心得/評論:
H-1B 簽證持有人約 71% 是印度籍,而且多集中在 IT 與外包服務業
Infosys、Wipro、TCS、Cognizant 等印度大廠,
商業模式就是派工程師到美國做軟體開發、外包維護、雲端服務
Infosys 的 H-1B 年薪中位數(全部職種/地點)約 US$76,681
低於新H-1B的成本US$100,000/年
