US Senator Proposes Three-Year Pause on H-1B Visas and Reinstatement of Fee
US Senator Tim Sheehy, a Republican from Montana, introduced the End H-1B Abuse Act proposing a three-year pause on new H-1B visas and reinstating a $100,000 fee per petition, previously imposed by the Trump administration but struck down by a federal court. The bill aims to tighten eligibility, replace the visa lottery with a wage-based system, reduce annual caps, and address concerns about protecting American workers and national security. The legislation has support from immigration reform groups and targets alleged program abuses.
