A proposed regulation to “modernize” requirements and oversight in the H-1B visa program and provide additional flexibility in the F-1 student visa program has cleared review at the White House Office of Management and Budget.
BAL Analysis: The proposal could have broad consequences for the H-1B and F-1 visa programs; however, the text of the proposed rule has not yet been published. The proposal is expected to go through a 60-day notice-and-comment period before it is updated and published as a final rule, which will likely have a delayed effective date. It is not clear at this time whether the rule will be in place for the FY2025 cap registration season. BAL will provide additional updates as information becomes available.
