A new H-1B visa rule proposed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is expected to introduce significant changes for employers and skilled professionals. Set to be published on July 8 for public comment, the rule would restrict H-1B eligibility by redefining specialty occupations to those with degrees directly related to specific jobs, reviving a controversial Trump-era provision. Business administration degrees may no longer qualify as sufficient for H-1B status. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security plans to impose higher extension fees: $4,000 for H-1B and $4,500 for L-1 visas, potentially impacting hiring practices and international MBA enrollments.
