Stimulus-Related Restrictions And FY 2010 Quota H-1B Filing
25 Mar 2009
The Employ American Workers Act (EAWA), signed recently by President Barack Obama, puts severe restrictions on potential H-1B employers who have received the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) funds. The Act makes such employers “H-1B dependent employers”, forcing them to make attestations including efforts to recruit US workers, offering non-discriminating wages to H-1B non-immigrants and US workers, and not causing displacement of US workers. |
