3月3日(路透社)- 佛罗里达州公立大学将暂时停止使用H-1B签证计划雇佣外国教职人员,该计划允许雇主招聘从事特殊职业的高技能专业人士。

这一举措是在佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯去年10月指示各学校打击他所谓的高等教育中的”签证滥用”之后采取的。

佛罗里达州公立大学系统的监督机构——佛罗里达州董事会已投票通过一项临时禁令,该禁令将持续至2027年1月5日,根据该委员会网站上发布的规定。

这一举措仅影响佛罗里达州12所公立大学的新雇员。

去年,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普对新H-1B签证申请者征收了一次性10万美元的费用,以配合他在美国更广泛的移民打击行动。

德桑蒂斯办公室和董事会暂未立即回复置评请求。

H-1B签证计划允许从事特殊职业(主要是科学、技术、工程和数学领域)的外国专业人士在美国工作。该计划每年提供65,000个签证名额,另有20,000个名额用于拥有高学历的工人,签证有效期为3至6年。

根据美国公民及移民服务局网站上的数据,去年佛罗里达州的12所学校批准了600多名H-1B签证受益人。

去年10月,德桑蒂斯表示,美国大学”正在通过H-1B签证进口外国工人,而不是雇佣有资格且有空缺职位的美国人”。

March 3 (Reuters) – Florida’s public universities will temporarily halt hiring foreign faculty members using the H-1B visa program, which ​allows employers to recruit highly skilled professionals in ‌specialized occupations.

The move comes after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis directed schools last October to crack down on what he described as “visa abuse” in ​higher education.

The Florida Board of Governors, which oversees ​the state’s public universities, voted for a temporary ban ⁠that will stay in effect until January 5, 2027, ​according to the regulation posted on the board’s website.

The move ​will only affect new employees at the 12 universities in the State University System of Florida.

Last year, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a one-time $100,000 fee ​for new H-1B visa applicants amid his wider crackdown on ​immigration in the United States.

The office of DeSantis and the board of ‌governors ⁠were not immediately available for contact.

The H-1B visa program allows foreign professionals in specialized occupations – primarily in science, technology, engineering and mathematics – to work in the U.S. It offers ​65,000 visas annually, ​with another ⁠20,000 visas for workers with advanced degrees, approved for three to six years.

More than 600 ​beneficiaries were approved for H-1B visas by the ​12 ⁠Florida schools last year, according to data on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ website.

Last October, DeSantis said U.S. universities “were importing ⁠foreign ​workers on H-1B visas instead of ​hiring Americans who are qualified and available to do the job”.
