H–1Bs for Physicians and the Healthcare Workforce Act

This legislative proposal seeks to create an exemption for certain H-1B nonimmigrant workers. Its primary purpose is to free health care workers from the entry restrictions outlined in a specific Presidential Proclamation titled "Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers." Under this bill, H-1B nonimmigrants employed or offered employment in the health care workforce would not be subject to the proclamation's restrictions, which currently require a substantial $100,000 payment for entry. The legislation explicitly prohibits any additional fees from being imposed on these exempt health care workers beyond the standard H-1B fees already established by law, thereby easing their entry into the United States.
