US Reviews Employment-Based Green Card and H-1B Visa Policies Affecting Indian Professionals
The US government is considering changes to immigration policies affecting employment-based green cards and H-1B visa holders, particularly Indian professionals who represent a significant portion of beneficiaries. Proposed revisions include removing the requirement for USCIS to defer to previous visa approvals, potentially impacting H-1B extensions, and updating the Permanent Labour Certification (PERM) program to revise recruitment standards and employer compliance. These proposals are under review and not yet finalized, with existing rules remaining in effect until official changes are published.
