The End H–1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026 proposes significant changes to the H–1B visa program, including a pause on new visa issuances, stricter.

The End H–1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026 aims to reform the H–1B visa program by pausing the issuance of new H–1B visas until certain conditions are met. It imposes a $100,000 fee on employers filing H–1B petitions, restricts H–1B visa eligibility to primary workers, and prohibits concurrent and third-party employment. The bill also eliminates the optional practical training program for certain nonimmigrants, bars federal employment of nonimmigrant visa holders, and limits the duration of H–1B visas to three years.
