A new congressional bill, titled the End H-1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026, has been introduced, proposing significant changes to the H-1B visa program. If passed, the bill would suspend the issuance of new H-1B visas for three years, drastically reducing the annual cap from 65,000 to just 25,000 visas.
Key Details:
- Proposed suspension duration: 3 years
- New annual cap: 25,000 H-1B visas
- Minimum salary requirement: $200,000 for H-1B workers
- Dependents: H-1B holders would be barred from bringing dependents to the U.S.
- Path to permanent residency: Completely blocked for H-1B visa holders
These proposed changes could have a profound impact on skilled foreign workers seeking employment in the U.S., limiting opportunities for many mid-level professionals. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
