Visa Cap Enforcement Act discontinues exceptions from H–1B visa numerical limitation.
The Visa Cap Enforcement Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to discontinue certain exceptions from the H–1B nonimmigrant visa numerical limitation. Specifically, it eliminates the exemption for individuals who have surpassed three years in H–1B status and removes the exemption for employment by colleges and research institutions. Additionally, it ensures that a change of employer results in the new position being counted against the numerical limitation. This bill aims to enforce the H–1B visa cap more strictly.
