Bill overview
The Protect Act of 2026 aims to reform the H-1B visa program by increasing wage requirements for employers, limiting the use of third-party work sites for H-1B workers, and prioritizing petitions offering higher compensation. It also includes an exemption for health care personnel, allowing them to be considered for H-1B visas without facing certain fees and requiring employers to demonstrate efforts to hire domestic workers first. The bill is intended to prioritize American workers and ensure fair compensation for H-1B visa holders.
