A new bill has been introduced proposing a three-year pause on new H-1B visas, signaling a shift in the current administration’s stance on legal immigration. The bill suggests significant changes to the H-1B program, including a reduction in the number of visas available and an increase in wage requirements.
Key Details:
- Proposed pause on new H-1B visas for three years.
- Current cap of 65,000 may be reduced to 25,000.
- Suggested wage floor for H-1B positions could rise to $200,000.
- The bill is not yet law and is still in the proposal stage.
This proposed legislation could have a substantial impact on foreign workers seeking employment in the U.S. and the companies that rely on H-1B visa holders. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
