H.R.8443

End H–1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026 amends H–1B visa rules to end dual intent, limit concurrent employment, and restrict status changes.

The End H–1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026 amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to modify H–1B visa regulations. It ends dual intent for H–1B visa holders, prohibiting them from seeking permanent residency. The bill restricts H–1B visa holders from working for more than one employer at a time and rescinds employment authorizations for those who applied for adjustment of status. It also prohibits the Secretary of Homeland Security from authorizing changes in nonimmigrant classification. The act imposes a three-year pause on H–1B visa issuance and eliminates the H–1B lottery system.
