The American Tech Workforce Act of 2025 reforms the H-1B visa program to protect U.S. workers.
The American Tech Workforce Act of 2025 aims to reform the H-1B nonimmigrant visa program to protect U.S. workers. It terminates the Optional Practical Training Program, ending employment authorization for certain students after their studies. The bill also mandates higher wages for H-1B workers, prohibiting wages below local median levels. Additionally, it restricts H-1B visas for work at third-party sites and prioritizes petitions offering higher wages. The act seeks to address concerns about the use of H-1B visas to replace U.S. workers with lower-paid foreign labor.
