USCIS and the Department of Labor (DOL) have significantly increased enforcement measures for H-1B visa programs in 2025-2026. This includes expanded targeted site visits, particularly for H-1B-dependent employers, as well as heightened fraud investigations and wage compliance audits.
Key Details:
- Enforcement measures include targeted site visits and fraud investigations.
- Proposed DOL rules suggest raising prevailing wage floors by 21-33%.
- A new $100,000 fee will apply to many new H-1B petitions.
- Congress has introduced the End H-1B Visa Abuse Act, proposing a three-year pause on new petitions and tighter caps on wages.
These changes are expected to increase scrutiny on high-salary roles within the H-1B program, impacting employers and applicants alike.
