New H1b changes

Something coming for H1b. Just under debate. H1b extensions will also be cut down drastically.

Reducing the annual H-1B cap from 65,000 to 25,000 and eliminating existing exemptions
Requiring employers to certify they cannot find a qualified American worker and have not conducted layoffs
Setting a minimum H-1B wage of $200,000 per year
Barring H-1B workers from holding multiple jobs and prohibiting third-party staffing agencies from employing them
Disallowing H-1B workers from bringing dependents to the United States
Prohibiting federal agencies from sponsoring or employing nonimmigrant workers
Ending Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Ensuring nonimmigrant visas remain temporary by prohibiting H-1B holders from adjusting status to permanent residency
Requiring nonimmigrants to depart the United States before changing to another nonimmigrant status

@b5 ok, then just stop the H1B process completely. It is clearly being abused.

Disallowing H-1B workers from bringing dependents to the United States won’t survive a constitutional challenge, as it’s a reminder of the time Chinese workers from banned from bringing their families.
