2008-04-30: "Government Quietly Changes Rules on Foreign Tech Workers"
According to the Wall Street Journal:
“On Friday, DHS issued a press release saying that businesses could now hire foreign students who attended American schools for 29 months without obtaining an H-1B visa”
“What’s striking about the new rule is how it came about. Instead of releasing a draft and soliciting comments from the public – the typical process for governmental rule changes – DHS cited a clause in the Administrative Procedures Act, which is reserved for emergencies, to make the rule effective immediately.”
I do not understand how this could be legal. But, it was done, just the same.
