The US government has cited concerns related to manipulation and abuse in the H-1B visa system as a key driver behind its decision to overhaul how visas are selected each year.
The Department of Homeland Security, in a federal notification this week, asserted that the changes were needed to strengthen “process integrity” and preserve fairness in the cap-subject H-1B program.
These new rules outline a range of practices that the DHS said raised red flags during recent filing cycles, including wage manipulation, inconsistent job information, and the filing of multiple registrations tied to related entities.
