USCIS posted new H-1B rules intended to clean up the visa multiple-names registration mess. It's creating a beneficiary-centric selection process. If a beneficiary wins the H-1B visa lottery, and multiple employers have submitted registrations for the same beneficiary, the

Trump's stance on E-Verify reflects consideration of the practical realities of undocumented immigration. He may not support a nation-wide mandate of E-Verify. #everify techtarget.com/searchhrsoftwa…

Trump's H-1B reform prioritized the annual allocation of 85,000 visas for advanced degree holders, high wages, and valuable skills—proposed in 2020, just months before he lost re-election. Biden scrapped it. Now, Trump’s recent praise of the H-1B program as 'great' is

Lost in the latest #H1B debate is that Trump had bipartisan support in Congress for some of his H-1B reforms. Senators Chuck Grassley (R) and Dick Durbin (D) backed Trump’s merit-based approach over the random lottery. Grassley said, 'The visa lottery system makes this problem

What’s next for high-skilled immigration and #H1B in 2025? Expect a fight in Congress over H1B visas vs. employment-based green cards. Trump has expressed interest in granting permanent residency to U.S. university grads. Unlike H-1B workers, green card holders aren’t tied to

Glad to see all this interest in my article, tinyurl.com/s5vbwjkm. An interesting question to ask is, what would the tech industry say about my proposed reforms if they were asked to comment (not likely)? Here are my guesses. 1. Prioritize H-1B work visa awards by offered

This Washington Post op-ed proposal for an #H1B auction for wages isn't breaking truly new ground IMHO. Trump proposed something similar in 2020: A wage-based distribution system for visas. But he was too late finalizing it; after losing the election, Biden killed the #h1bvisa

The ultimate goal of Elon Musk is to convert the U.S. Capitol and White House into data centers. At this point, I don't know if I'd oppose it.
