dear folks.

i'm not actually an IT guy, but i heard there is an issue regarding IT outsourcing and GC.

Could anyone explain me the term "IT outsourcing" in more details ?? (pls forgive my ignorance)

thanks.
 
In a nutshell, "IT Outsourcing" means the I/T operation of company is being transferred to or taken care of by another company. For example, your company signs a contract with EDS or IBM to manage the I/T operation for 5 or 10 years. If part of the contract is to transfer the I/T personnel to EDS or IBM (meaning you have now become an EDS or IBM employee), that could be an issue with I-485.

There are questions like who is the sponsoring company now, do you need to file I-140 amendment, etc...

You should talk to your lawyers or company lawyers if you're facing this situation.
 
These days the term outsourcing and offshoring is being used interchangeably. Basically more and more companies are "outsourcing" work to companies at rock bottom rates. Now for these rock bottom rates, the companies that get the outsourced work will use cheap labour and facilities abroad (usually Asian countries) and this usually leads to less jobs here in the US and more jobs in the Asian countries !

Just my $0.02 !
 
And as jobs dry down here, the immigration will automatically come down. Besides this, the American companies will cut their costs because of outsourcing and they can sell their products very cheaply all around the world. These are the benefits (as seen by present government) of outsourcing. But it is going to have wide ranging impacts not only on American jobs but also on
manufacturing jobs in other countries (because they will lose their price advantage compared to American products and they may have to close their shops). It's a big cyclical mess, with benefits for few and sorrows to many more.
 
Outsourcing is done by companies to reduce expenditure. The net result is better profits and improved bottom line for the company. They are least concerned about the quality of work.

Corporate America will even go to the extent of selling their mothers and children to make money...........
