A new bill proposed by Rep. Crane aims to significantly alter the H-1B visa program by reducing the number of available visas from 400,000 to 25,000. The bill also seeks to eliminate Optional Practical Training (OPT) and H-4 Employment Authorization Documents (EADs), while prohibiting temporary workers from changing their visa status or obtaining green cards without leaving the United States.
Key Details:
- Proposed visa cap: 25,000 H-1B visas annually
- Elimination of OPT and H-4 EADs
- Prohibition on temporary workers changing visas or obtaining green cards without exiting the U.S.
- Aimed at reducing the number of foreign workers in the U.S. job market
This proposed legislation could have a substantial impact on foreign workers and their ability to remain in the U.S. for employment opportunities. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
