What’s Happening

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has submitted a proposed regulation titled Reforming the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. The proposal could reshape several areas of H-1B eligibility and compliance, but it does not change current law or filing requirements at this stage.

The full proposal has not yet been released. Until DHS publishes the proposed rule in the Federal Register, its precise scope, definitions, and operational impact will remain unknown.
