Twitter layoffs have put H-1B visa holders in tough spot: Report
Amid the layoffs at Twitter since Elon Musk's takeover, things have got a little complicated for employees – especially if they are an H-1B visa holder. According to a Forbes report, Twitter has approximately 625 to 670 employees in H-1B status, which is nearly 8 per cent of the company's roughly 7,500 employees around the world. H-1B visa is a commonly used status by many tech firms in the US to hire international employees. However, those laid off are now under the direct threat of their immigration status.
