Yale Scholar Gautam Mucunda killed US President Donald Trump’s decision to increase H-1B visa fees to $ 100,000, which warned that such a step would damage the long-term long-term advantage to attract world-class talents.
Mukunda reiterated that policy change is “economically unhealthy” and would give the US a disadvantage in the global plant to hire highly qualified experts, especially because other countries are more and more competitive to use the same groups of talents.
Increasing demand for iIT graduates
The scholar stressed that the highest graduates, especially from leading institutions, such as Indian technology institutions (IIT), are highly demanding in other countries. He believes that by saving this new policy, the US basically throws this advantage, because any other country would eagerly persecute these talented individuals.
He noted that “every country in the world would kill to get the best IIT graduates”. “But America throws this property for no reason. This H1B Visa decision makes no sense at all,” he added.
