The Trump administration is planning to modify the H-1B visa criteria for foreign workers. Proposed changes involve a weighted selection process, although the specific alterations remain unclear. During Trump’s first term, the scrutiny of H-1B applications intensified, resulting in nearly double the denial rates by 2018. A salary-based allocation rule replaced the lottery system for awarding H-1B visas, but this rule was later rescinded by Biden. The current proposal is pending review by the Office of Management and Budget before advancing to a public-comment period and finalization.
The Trump administration plans to change H-1B visa criteria, proposing a weighted selection process for foreign workers. Details of the changes remain unclear.
Under Trump's first term, scrutiny of H-1B applications increased significantly, resulting in denials for one out of four applications by 2018.
At the end of Trump’s term, a salary-based allocation rule was imposed for H-1B visas, eliminating the previous lottery system, but was later withdrawn.
The proposal for changes to the H-1B visa is under review by the Office of Management and Budget, with a lengthy public-comment process anticipated before implementation.
