Student visa. The crazy thing is that this employee had won a coveted H1B lottery literally last week - which includes a criminal background check to even apply - then the student gets revoked the following week. But, the H1B is not active until October. Guess no one cross-checked the student visa and H1B lists with each other when deciding what to revoke......
Craziness...hope they do not revoke the H1 too. It is all about the number of people getting expelled now. These are strange times my friend.

Me too....if so, the US loses a highly-qualified, tax-paying worker whose services we have been exporting to other counties. It's hard to see any benefit from this, outside of whatever country this employee might end up relocating to - who would then get that tax revenue and back-export the services to the US :rolleyes:.

Of course no one would really know that if they are deciding who to expel based on filtering a couple of columns in a spreadsheet.
 
Your working was on a Student Visa, when did they graduate? I know it is/was common for people to over stay on a Student Visa. Sometime for a decade.
 
Student visas allow for work up to 3 years after graduation in STEM fields like mine. Virtually all employers in my field have dedicated staff whose sole job is to verify that employees have proper work authorization in compliance with Federal regulations.

I can tell you that in 15+ years of working in my industry, including for some of it's largest companies, that I have never heard of anyone working on an expired visa of any type. Employees have to provide copies of work authorization documents whem they are hired and expiration dates are tracked. If those dates pass and authorizations aren't renewed, the employee is immediately terminated. If not, the company would get a big fine and possibly lose customer contracts.
