H-1B and H-2 modernization, fee hikes and changes to the green card process top the Biden administration’s regulatory priorities on employment-based immigration, according to the semiannual regulatory agenda published this week. The administration also indicated it would propose regulatory changes related to certain nonimmigrants, including those who lose their jobs, in late 2024.
BAL Analysis: While the regulations would have a significant impact on immigration programs, they are at different stages in the rulemaking process, and policies are still being formulated. Proposed regulations are subject to a public notice-and-comment period, during which members of the public may submit feedback. BAL continues to monitor the regulatory agenda and will provide clients with updates on individual regulations as they move through the rulemaking process.
BAL Community is hosting a second event on Thursday, Dec. 14, on the H-1B modernization proposal. BAL attorneys Eileen Lohmann and Steve Plastrik will take a deeper dive into the specifics of the proposed rule and provide an overview of the regulatory timeline.
