The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published its semi-annual regulatory agenda this week, outlining priorities that would include significant changes to the H-1B, Optional Practical Training, H-4 and B-1/B-2 visa programs.
Key points:
BAL Analysis: DHS continues to pursue an aggressive agenda to tighten key immigration routes for foreign high-skilled workers. Many of the proposals, however, have been in the works for months, if not years, and it is not clear how many of them the agency will be able to complete before the November election. BAL is closely monitoring regulatory developments and will release additional information as it becomes available.
