H-1B visa: Will US double quota amid Trump’s $100,000 fee shock? Lawmaker Raja Krishnamoorthi reintroduces HIRE Act
Amid US President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigrants and H-1B visas, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi, a Democrat from Illinois, has announced the reintroduction of the HIRE Act to increase the number of H-1B visas available each year from 65,000 to 130,000.
The legislation — High-Skilled Immigration Reform for Employment (HIRE Act) — which seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to expand the availability of H-1B non-immigrant visas — aims to expand access to high-skilled talent from around the world, while growing the domestic workforce.
