S 2941

The Visa Cap Enforcement Act aims to reduce the number of H-1B visas available to foreign workers by eliminating certain exceptions that have previously allowed for a higher number of these visas to be issued. Specifically, the bill modifies existing regulations regarding the calculation of H-1B visa availability, limiting how long individuals can maintain their nonimmigrant status and altering the rules for employers who change an H-1B worker’s employment. This legislation seeks to increase competition for H-1B visas and prioritize U.S. workers.
