Immigration Reform Bill: In the employment context, the proposed Act would eliminate per-country caps for employment-based immigrants<\/strong> (permitting certain nationals to avoid the lengthy queues for immigrant visas now in place, especially for China and India<\/strong>) and increase the number of employment-based third-preference visas<\/strong> for \u201cother workers.\u201d The Act would create a pilot program <\/strong>for another visa category dedicated to regional economic development (10,000 visas<\/strong>) for people with employment essential to local development strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employment-Based Immigration Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of extra interest to numerous employees, the Act would give work authorization to H-4 visa holders<\/strong> (H-1B dependents) and give further protections to H-4 kids<\/strong> who would otherwise age out of potential visa options. It would institute new protections for F-1 students <\/strong>at higher education institutions by eliminating the requirement to demonstrate that they have a foreign residence <\/strong>they do not intend to abandon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who have earned doctoral degrees in STEM fields<\/strong> from U.S. colleges would also be exempted from annual numerical limits on employment-based visas. Also, the new legislation<\/strong> would increase the base number for the calculation of the yearly ceiling. For the admission of employment-based immigrants from 140,000 to 170,000,<\/strong> increasing the availability of visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the Act would create more programming and grants to promote immigrant integration<\/strong> at the state and local levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigration Reform Bill | Expected Chances of Success<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Despite the more moderate approach taken by President Biden<\/strong>, the probability of the success of the change effort remains unclear. Immigration reform <\/strong>has historically been considered a politically polarizing topic in Congress. Also, immigration legislation<\/strong> is expected to face particular challenges in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Biden administration won\u2019t defend Trump immigration rule<\/span><\/a>]<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Control of the Senate is split 50-50<\/strong>, with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the swing vote; however, Senate Democrats<\/strong> would require the help of 10 additional Republicans<\/strong>. To avoid a filibuster blocking the legislation from going to a vote. As the legislative way <\/strong>develops, we will continue to monitor and report on this bill\u2019s progress<\/strong>. And on any other significant immigration-related<\/strong> legislation that would affect employers and visa holders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
