Many smart, highly educated, motivated, and innovative people came to America on so-called H-1B visas, a magnet the U.S. Government created to attract the world's best talent.
Now that very status is being used against them as high-tech firms, such as Twitter, Meta, Salesforce, Zillow, and Microsoft downsize.
To avoid underpaying talent, H-1B holders must be paid the prevailing U.S. wage for the type of work they do. That's the simplest way to stay; get a job with another employer that is willing to sponsor and hire on a fast-track basis.However, with so many high-tech mass layoffs these days, many H1-B holders may not be able to stay in the U.S. legally. If they overstay by more than six months looking for work, problems arise.
Employers may choose to lay off visa holders first, saying that they have qualified American employees with priority.
