Trump's H-1B Policy Shakeup Drives Global Companies to UK's Global Talent Visa
The Trump administration's new policy, announced on 19 September and effective from 21 September, has left global companies uncertain about their hiring and expansion strategies. Meanwhile, the UK Government is considering making its Global Talent visa more appealing by reducing or removing application fees.
A company, not explicitly named, has seen a significant increase in calls since the new US global entry policy was announced. It expects demand to grow further in the coming months. This policy change has also led to a noticeable spike in calls within the first seven days, with President Trump's announcement on the H-1B visa policy driving the interest.
Mandeep Khroud, Head of Immigration at Irwin Mitchell, has observed a clear rise in enquiries for the UK's Global Talent visa since the US announcement. This suggests a potential link between immigration policy and foreign investment. The H-1B visa, a key route for skilled foreign workers entering the US, particularly in technology, has been affected by these changes. The UK's Global Talent visa, designed for leaders and emerging leaders in fields such as science, technology, engineering, and the arts, is now being considered as an alternative.
The Trump administration's new global entry policy has created uncertainty for global companies regarding their hiring and expansion strategies. Meanwhile, the UK Government is considering enhancing its Global Talent visa to attract more skilled workers. The impact of these policy changes on foreign investment and immigration patterns is expected to become clearer in the coming months.
