Rep. Greg Steube has introduced a bill that proposes to change the cap on H-1B visas from 65,000 to zero, while maintaining the existing provisions for certain categories. This legislation does not affect the additional 20,000 H-1B visas allocated for individuals with Master’s degrees or PhDs, nor does it impact the unlimited H-1B visas available for nonprofit organizations and government or research institutions.
Key Details:
- Proposed cap change: H-1B visas reduced from 65,000 to zero.
- Exemptions: 20,000 H-1B visas for Master’s/PhD holders remain unchanged.
- Nonprofit and government/research institutions: Unlimited H-1B visas still available.
- Legislative status: Bill introduced, further actions pending.
This bill could significantly impact the availability of H-1B visas for many applicants, particularly those seeking employment in the private sector. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
