Bill > S2941

This bill modifies existing immigration law regarding H-1B visas, which are nonimmigrant work visas typically used by skilled foreign workers in specialty occupations. The bill introduces several key changes: First, it requires that any foreign worker who has previously been counted against the annual H-1B visa numerical cap will be recounted against that cap if they remain in H-1B status for more than three years. Second, the bill eliminates existing exceptions that previously allowed certain employees of colleges and research institutions to be exempt from the visa cap. Third, the bill removes provisions that previously allowed for more flexible changes of immigration status to H-1B visas. Finally, the bill mandates that when an H-1B visa holder changes employers, the new employment position will be counted against the annual visa numerical limitation. These changes are designed to more strictly enforce the existing numerical limits on H-1B visas and reduce potential loopholes that have allowed some organizations and workers to circumvent the established visa caps.
