川普政府擬取消H-1B簽證60天寬限期,失業者須立刻離境

Quick Look

川普政府提議取消H-1B等特定工作簽證的60天寬限期,失業後必須立即離美,影響科技公司及外籍勞工,國土安全部稱職缺可由美國勞工填補,但業界警告將壓縮人資處理時間。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

自2017年起實施的60天寬限期允許H-1B等簽證持有者在失業後最多停留60天尋找新工作或處理個人事務。川普政府自2025年重返白宮以來,已多次收緊合法移民政策,包括提高簽證費用和暫停全球使領館簽證預約。

根據今天公布的政府公告,川普政府已提議取消60天寬限期。這項機制原本允許包含H-1B簽證技術勞工在內的部分移民,在失業後能繼續留在美國,尋找新雇主擔保。

路透社報導,根據美國國土安全部刊登於「聯邦公報」(Federal Register)的擬議新規,持有H-1B及其他特定臨時工作簽證者,一旦僱傭關係終止就得立刻離開美國。這對極度依賴外籍人才的美國頂尖科技公司而言,無疑是一大打擊。

請繼續往下閱讀...

這是美國總統川普自2025年1月重返白宮以來,限制合法移民的最新舉措。他的政府也提高技術勞工簽證費用,最近並暫停美國駐全球各地使館及領事館的移民簽證預約,以推行新的培訓計畫。

國土安全部在提案中寫道,受此變更影響的企業可能會面臨部分營運衝擊,但表示這些職缺可以改由美國勞工填補。國土安全部還說,在某些情況下,離境的移民勞工若獲雇主重新提出申請,仍有機會再次申請簽證。

公告指出:「國土安全部推定,企業將視人力需求,選擇把相同職缺提供給具同等資格的美國勞工,或依循I-129申請程序。」

自2017年起實施的60天寬限期,讓外籍員勞工在離境前有緩衝時間尋找新工作,或處理個人事務,例如出售房產或安排子女轉學離校。

H-1B簽證由美國國會於1990年設立,對需要從印度和中國招募人才的科技公司尤其重要,能讓企業填補本土有時缺乏合適人選的專業職缺。

德勤(Deloitte)、資誠(PwC)和安永(Ernst & Young)等顧問公司,以及塔塔諮詢服務公司(Tata Consultancy Services)、印福思科技公司(Infosys)、HCL Tech和LTIMindtree等大型外包服務公司,都是H-1B簽證的主要擔保方。

專門處理商業移民事務的貝拉迪移民法律事務所(Berardi Immigration Law)律師表示,這項措施將「大幅壓縮人資團隊處理外籍員工裁員及離職程序的時間」。

如果這項變更確定實施,適用對象還將擴及E-1國際貿易商簽證持有者、E-2商業車輛駕駛簽證持有者、跨國企業高級主管及經理人的L-1短期工作簽證持有者、針對科學、體育或藝術領域「具傑出能力者」發放的O-1簽證持有者,以及TN專業人士簽證持有者。
