The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has introduced changes to the H-1B visa program to streamline the application process and help employers fill job openings faster. These new rules, set to take effect on January 17, 2025, aim to make the program more flexible and easier to navigate.
Key Changes:
Simplified eligibility criteria for highly skilled professions and organizations exempt from the visa cap.
Easier transition for F-1 students to move to H-1B status.
Faster processing for applicants who have previously held an H-1B visa.
Business owners can now qualify for an H-1B visa through their own company, provided certain conditions are met.
Stronger oversight to ensure employers follow the program’s rules.
“These updates will help American companies attract top talent from around the globe, boosting our economy and driving innovation,” said DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
