A Frantic Job Hunt for H-1B Visa Holders in Tech
Published 3 years, 1 month ago
Description
Silicon Valley companies rely on thousands of H-1B visa holders who have come to the Bay Area from all over the world. H-1B visas grant temporary status to work and live in the U.S. But in the wake of mass layoffs in the tech industry, visa holders have 60 days to find a new job or face the threat of deportation.
