The White House is moving forward with a new set of changes to the H-1B visa program that could reshape how U.S. companies recruit and hire skilled foreign professionals.

Specialty Occupation Definition: One of the most consequential revisions could involve tightening what qualifies as a “specialty occupation.” In earlier drafts from the Trump era, eligible roles were restricted to positions requiring a degree in a “directly related specific specialty.” A similar provision surfaced briefly in a 2024 Biden administration proposal before being revised to require only a “logical connection” between a worker’s degree and their job duties. Reintroducing the narrower definition could significantly reduce the range of qualifying jobs.
Cap Exemptions: DHS is also evaluating current exemptions to the annual visa cap, a move that could impact nonprofit research institutions, universities, and health systems that have traditionally benefited from such carve-outs.
Third-Party Placements: The rule contemplates stricter oversight of employers that contract H-1B workers to other companies, a widespread practice in the tech and consulting industries.
Employer Compliance: Additionally, the proposal calls for heightened review of employers previously cited for wage or labor violations, increasing hurdles for repeat offenders seeking to sponsor new H-1B applicants.

“The American Medical Association, for instance, has urged DHS to exempt physicians from the proposed $100,000 fee, pointing to ongoing doctor shortages and the heavy dependence of rural and underserved communities on foreign-trained medical professionals”.
Maybe if the population of illegals and other foreigners in our country would lessen the burden on the hospitals to where they don’t have to hire all these foreign doctors.
Strip mining medical workers from other nations is immoral. Not just for American workers but foreign countries.
India’s PM Indira Ghandi complained of a “Brain Drain” decades ago.
Then, she was assassinated...
