The Trump administration plans to publish a new H-1B rule expected to propose additional immigration restrictions on how employers use the visa and who qualifies for it. Shortly before the White House announced a $100,000 fee on many H-1B visa holders, the Department of Homeland Security published its regulatory agenda. The agenda includes a rule to change the H-1B visa category.
The summary for the upcoming rule “Reforming the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Classification Program” states: “DHS will propose to reform the H-1B program by revising eligibility for cap exemptions, providing greater scrutiny for employers that have violated program requirements, and increasing oversight over third party placements, among other provisions. These changes are intended to improve the integrity of the H-1B nonimmigrant program and better protect U.S. workers’ wages and working conditions.” The regulatory notice lists December 2025 as a possible publication date for the rule.
H-1B temporary visas are important since they typically are the only practical way for a high-skilled foreign national to work in the United States long term and eventually gain permanent residence (a green card). The H-1B annual limit is 65,000, with a 20,000 exemption for individuals with a master’s degree or higher from a U.S. university. At U.S. universities, international students account for 73% of full-time graduate students in electrical and computer engineering.

Vivek Ramaswamy must be s***ting himself.
H-1B is slowly turning our nation from a republic to a caste system. The Hindu worldview is not compatible to the U S. Constitution.
“At U.S. universities, international students account for 73% of full-time graduate students in electrical and computer engineering”
Which is why American kids can’t get into these programs anymore and don’t major in it even if they can, because they know that they won’t get hired since the aliens all get Affirmative Action preferences when they apply for jobs.
Few decades ago, anyone with an EE or EE/CS degree would graduate with multiple job offers. Now, they have to send out hundreds of resumes and might get one or two responses, or have to take a technician job to work their way up.
India’s caste system is antithetical to everything the U.S. stands for.
New regulations should prohibit companies from hiring H1-B candidates if they conducted a layoff within the recent past, say 2 - 5 years. It should also specify that H1-B employees be terminated in advance of any layoff.
Vivek’s caste mentality showed through prominently as soon as I became aware of who he was.
Exactly. H1B holders should be first on the chopping block in the case of layoffs. Not Americans.
An old-timer once told me that the first buyout offer a company makes to its employees will be the best one.
I don’t know if that’s the case or not.
I’ve been lucky.
The large IT sweatshops here in the US built their businesses around an endless pipeline of desperate Indians. This announcement is pretty seismic for the Deloittes and PWCs of the world. If I were an Indian IT guy living with the other 6 stinkies, in a two bedroom apartment in the metro DC area....be nervous, be very nervous...going back Kartika
