San Francisco: Laid off US tech workers<\/a> from abroad on employment-based visas are scrambling to find new jobs to avoid being forced to uproot their lives and leave the country. 旧金山:解雇我们技术工人从国外享受签证正争相寻找新的就业机会,以避免被迫离开他们的生活,离开这个国家。
More than 150,000 US-based tech jobs have disappeared in recent months, delivering an economic blow to Silicon Valley<\/a> not seen the since the dot-com bubble collapsed in the early 2000s.
As the massive wave of redundancies spreads across US tech firms, many of those left jobless are here on H1-B or other visas pegged to their jobs, according to California congresswomen Anna Eshoo and Zoe Lofgren.
Eshoo and Lofgren wrote a letter urging US immigration authorities to at least double the 60-day period allowed foreign-born workers here on employment-based visas to find new jobs.
Without a new job at a company that can get them a visa, fired employees have to leave the country.
\"They are freaking out beyond measure,\" said Seattle-based immigration attorney Tahmina Watson.
\"They are absolutely in a bind because they don't know what they are going to do.\"
According to Eshoo and Lofgren, foreign-born workers make up nearly a quarter of the US science and tech workforce.
Often times, immigrant tech workers have settled down and started families in the United States, advocates told AFP.
\"They go from being two-income households to no-income households with mortgages, marriages, car payments and children,\" Watson said.
\"Sixty days is not enough time to wrap up your affairs; it is not enough time to find another job and then apply for another H1-B visa.\"
The Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies launched a petition at Change.org calling on US President Joe Biden to extend the visa grace period to a full year on humanitarian grounds.
The petition had more than 2,300 signatures as of Wednesday.
\"My ask here is to increase the grace period and let them figure it out,\" said foundation director Khanderao Kand.
'Brain drain'<\/strong>
The US economy stands to suffer if there is an exodus of immigrant tech talent, argue advocates.
More than half of all billion-dollar tech companies here were founded by immigrants, Eshoo and Lofgren said in their letter to the heads of US Citizen and Immigration Services and Homeland Security.
\"To ensure that the successful companies of the future are based in the United States, we must prevent this brain drain from taking place,\" said the letter.
Silicon Valley is rich with immigrants from China, Europe, and India, many of whom are not just job seekers but eventually job creators with startups or investment capital, Kand told AFP.
Tech talent forced to leave the US, taking their families and dreams with them, will settle elsewhere and likely not return, Kand argued.
Giving immigrant tech talent a chance to stay could end up fueling a startup boom, as some of those who've been laid off opt to start companies of their own, Watson said.
\"If we lose this talent, I think we will find we are hurting in the future because these people will know that America doesn't care about them,\" the lawyer added.
Among tactics turned to by the newly unemployed is changing to tourist visas, which give them six months instead of two in which they can hunt for jobs or tend to affairs, according to Watson.
\"If they can't find another job, it gives them time to sell their car, let go of a lease, do what they need -- or figure out their paperwork to go to Canada,\" Watson said.
\"While we are closing our door to immigrants, Canada is doing the opposite and welcoming them.\"
While job cuts at tech titans such as Alphabet, Amazon<\/a>, and Microsoft<\/a> have been making headlines, startups have also been laying people off, noted French Tech San Francisco president Reza Malekzadeh.
\"I think culturally Europeans are not used to it, especially the French, because they are not used to it being easy to lay people off,\" Malekzadeh told AFP.
\"We try to help each other. I have not seen a big wave going back to France yet; I think they are still hopeful.\"

超过150000美国科技工作在最近几个月已经消失了,提供一个经济打击硅谷没有看到自网络泡沫崩溃在2000年代早期。
随着大规模的裁员浪潮跨越美国科技公司,其中许多左失业在h1 - b或其他签证与工作挂钩,根据加州众议院女议员安娜一休,佐伊洛夫格伦。
一休和洛夫格伦写了一封信敦促美国移民当局至少60天的周期允许外籍工人的两倍在就业上找到新工作签证。
说:“他们老是超出测量西雅图的移民律师Tahmina沃森。
“他们绝对是左右为难,因为他们不知道他们要做什么。”
根据一休和洛夫格伦,外籍工人占近四分之一的美国科学和技术的劳动力。
通常,技术工人移民定居下来,开始在美国家庭,提倡告诉法新社。
“他们从双收入家庭没有收入家庭抵押贷款,婚姻,汽车和儿童,”沃森说。
“60天是没有足够的时间去完成你的事情;没有足够的时间来找到另一份工作,然后申请另一个h1 - b签证。”
印度和印度移民的基础研究在Change.org上发起了一个请愿书呼吁美国总统乔•拜登(Joe Biden)延长签证宽限期以人道主义为由一整年。
请愿书周三有超过2300个签名。
“我问这是增加宽限期和让他们算出来,”基金会主任Khanderao的手说。
“人才流失”
美国经济将遭受科技人才,如果有大批移民拥护者争辩。
超过半数的数十亿美元的科技公司是由移民创立,一休和洛夫格伦说给美国公民和移民服务和国土安全。
”,以确保未来的成功的企业是建立在美国,我们必须阻止这种人才流失发生,”信中说。
硅谷是丰富的移民来自中国,欧洲,和印度,他们中的许多人不仅仅是求职者但最终工作与创业或投资资本,创造者的手告诉法新社。
科技人才被迫离开美国,他们的家庭和梦想,解决其他地方,可能不会回来,手说。
让移民科技人才有机会保持最终可能促进了创业的繁荣,一些下岗的人已经选择开始自己的公司,沃森说。
“如果我们失去这个天赋,我认为我们会找到我们未来的伤害,因为这些人都知道,美国并不关心他们,”这位律师补充说。
在策略转向新失业者正在改变旅游签证,这给他们六个月而不是两个,他们可以找工作或倾向于事务,根据沃森。
“如果他们不能找到另一份工作,它给了他们时间出售他们的车,租赁,他们需要什么,或者找出他们的文件去加拿大,”沃森说。
“虽然我们关闭大门移民,加拿大是反着做,欢迎他们。”
虽然裁员等科技巨头的字母,亚马逊,微软已经登上了头版头条,初创公司也在裁员,指出法国总统Reza Malekzadeh带领科技旧金山。
“我认为欧洲人不习惯文化,特别是法国,因为他们不习惯是容易裁员,“Malekzadeh带领告诉法新社。
“我们试着互相帮助。我还没有看到一个大浪回到法国;我认为他们仍然抱有希望。”
