H-1B Visas, the TARP Program, and the Stimulus Legislation


During the Congressional debate over the economic crisis, efforts were made
to further restrict the use of the H-1B visa

As a result of these efforts, just one provision was enacted: banks and
other financial institutions that receive bailout assistance under the TARP
(Troubled Asset Recovery Program) ( the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act
of 2008 (Public Law 110-343) or that receives funding under Section 13 of the
Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. § 342 et seq., authorizing the Federal
Reserve's "Discount Window" for short-term, secured loans to financial
institutions and other companies).are prohibited from seeking H-1B status on
behalf of a "new" H-1B worker UNLESS they have complied with the restrictions
currently imposed on "H-1B Dependant Employers*."

H-1B Dependant Employers are required to test the labor market to establish
the unavailability of U.S. workers before filing an H-1B Petition. They are
also subject to further restrictions where there have been layoffs of workers
in the occupational classification sought.

Companies which receive finding from the Stimulus bill [the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R.1), as opposed to the TARP program are NOT
subject to any special restrictions with respect to the filing of H-1B
Petitions.


* H-1B Dependant Employers, generally, are those whose workforce consists of
15% or more of H-1B workers
