原文标题： Microsoft asks all its foreign staff to return to US by Sunday after Trump's H1-B bombshell 原文连结：https://tinyurl.com/2ntn2pjc 发布时间：Last Updated: Sep 20, 2025, 09:40:22 AM IST 记者署名： 原文内容： Microsoft on Saturday advised its H-1B and H-4 visa employees to return to the United States immediately, ahead of the September 21 deadline announced by President Donald Trump after he imposed a $100,000 annual fee on the program, according to an internal email seen by Reuters. 路透社看到的一封内部电邮显示，微软於周六建议持有 H-1B 和 H-4 签证的员工立刻返 回美国，以赶在川普总统宣布的 9 月 21 日最後期限前回国。这是因为川普对该计画徵 收每年 10 万美元的费用。 The world's second largest tech firm further advised its H-1B visa employees that are currently already in the US to continue working in the country for the "foreseeable future". 这家全球第二大科技公司还建议目前已经在美国的 H-1B 签证员工，在「可预见的未来」 都留在美国工作。 "H-1B visa holders should stay in the US for the foreseeable future. Also recommend H-4 visa holders remain in the US. Strongly recommend H-1B and H-4 visa holders return to the US tomorrow before the deadline," parts of the email viewed by the news agency read. 电邮部分内容写道：「H-1B 签证持有人应在可预见的未来留在美国。我们也建议 H-4 签 证持有人留在美国。强烈建议 H-1B 与 H-4 签证持有人在截止日期前（明天）返回美国 。」 The memo comes as one of the first reactions of a tech giant amid concerns over how the fee could affect the IT sector. In addition to Microsoft, JPMorgan has also advised H-1B visa holders currently outside the United States to return before 12:01 a.m. ET on September 21, according to an internal email reviewed by Reuters. 这份备忘录是科技巨头对此政策最早的反应之一，因为人们担心新费用将冲击 IT 产业。 根据路透社看到的另一封内部电邮，除了微软之外，摩根大通也建议目前在美国境外的 H -1B 签证持有人，务必於美东时间 9 月 21 日凌晨 12:01 前返回美国。 Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick defended the new rules as a corrective measure, claiming that previous employment-based visa policies allowed workers earning below-average salaries, many of whom relied on government assistance, to enter the country. 商务部长 Howard Lutnick 为这项新规辩护，称其为一种矫正措施。他指出，以往的就业 签证政策允许薪资低於平均水准的外国劳工入境，其中许多人甚至依靠政府补助维生。 He added that the revised program would filter out the “bottom quartile” while generating more than $100 billion for the US Treasury. Trump further said that the revenue would be used to reduce national debt and lower taxes. 他补充说，这项修订计画将筛掉「薪资最低的四分之一」劳工，同时为美国财政部创造超 过 1000 亿美元收入。川普进一步表示，这些收入将用来减少国债并降低税收。 For India, Trump's announcement has far-reaching consequences as roughly 71% of H-1B visa holders are Indian, the majority employed in the technology sector. 对印度而言，川普的宣布影响深远，因为大约 71% 的 H-1B 签证持有人是印度人，而且 多数受雇於科技产业。 Major IT firms such as Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, and Tata Consultancy Services have long depended on the program to place engineers and developers in US projects. With visas typically valid for three years and renewable up to six, the new $100,000 annual fee could make it prohibitively expensive for companies to retain Indian professionals, especially given the decades-long wait for Green Cards. 像 Infosys、Wipro、Cognizant 和 Tata Consulting Services 这类主要 IT 公司长期 依靠该计画，派遣工程师和开发人员参与美国专案。由於 H-1B 签证通常有效期三年、最 长可延长至六年，新的每年 10 万美元费用可能会使企业难以负担留用印度专业人才的成 本，特别是在绿卡等待期往往长达数十年的情况下。 Reuters reported that shares of IT services companies, including US-listed Indian firms, dropped between 2% and 5% following the announcement. Critics told the news agency that the measure discourages talent mobility and innovation. Supporters, however, argue that it will prevent wage suppression and compel companies to invest in training American graduates instead. 路透社报导，在消息公布後，包括在美国上市的印度 IT 公司在内的股价下跌 2% 至 5% 。批评者告诉路透，这项措施会打击人才流动与创新。但支持者则认为，这能防止压低工 资，并迫使企业改为投资培训美国毕业生。 心得/评论： H-1B 签证持有人约 71% 是印度籍，而且多集中在 IT 与外包服务业 Infosys、Wipro、TCS、Cognizant 等印度大厂， 商业模式就是派工程师到美国做软体开发、外包维护、云端服务 Infosys 的 H-1B 年薪中位数（全部职种／地点）约 US$76,681 低於新H-1B的成本US$100,000/年 --
