CAP Act of 2025

This legislation aims to repeal a specific provision within the Immigration and Nationality Act, targeting Section 214(g)(5)(A) . This particular section currently provides an exemption from the annual numerical cap for certain H-1B nonimmigrants. The exemption primarily benefits individuals employed by institutions of higher education , as well as non-profit or governmental research organizations. By repealing this section, the bill would subject these previously exempt H-1B workers to the general annual numerical limitations, potentially impacting the ability of universities and research institutions to hire foreign talent.
