US Firms Laying Off American and Hiring H-1B Workers to Face Closer Scrutiny: What Trump’s New Order

President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order directing federal agencies to heavily scrutinize H-1B visa applications from companies that have recently laid off American workers or plan future job cuts. In this video, we break down what this interagency review means, the crackdown on outsourcing models, and how the policy impacts Indian tech professionals and U.S. employers navigating the immigration system. US President Donald Trump ne ek naye executive order par sign kar diya hai jiske tahat ab un companies par kadi nazar rakhi jayegi jo ek taraf American workers ko job se nikalती hain aur doosri taraf H-1B visa ke zariye foreign workers ko hire karti hain. Is video mein humne detail mein samjhaya hai ki Department of Labor aur USCIS ki nayi scrutiny ka tech companies aur Indian IT professionals par kya asar padega. Key Highlights: • Closer Scrutiny on Layoffs: Federal agencies will now check if H-1B sponsoring employers have directly or indirectly laid off US workers in the past year. • 30-Day Review Window: The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division has been tasked with reviewing previously filed Labour Condition Applications (LCAs). • Targeting Outsourcing Models: Cracking down on practices where foreign workers replace local staff at client sites before work is moved offshore. • Impact on Indian Techies: While high-skilled roles remain viable, companies will face extreme caution and heavy administrative checks before sponsoring new visas.
