A Republican lawmaker, Congressman Chip Roy, has introduced the American White-Collar Worker Jobs Act in the US Congress to overhaul the H-1B visa program. The bill aims to end the visa's use as a pathway to permanent residency and eliminate the optional practical training (OPT) program for foreign students. It proposes prioritizing merit and higher wages over the current lottery system, reversing the 'dual intent' policy, and shortening visa duration. The legislation is supported by groups advocating for American workers and follows recent stricter immigration policies under the Trump administration.
