Visa Cap Enforcement Act

This bill aims to significantly tighten the H-1B nonimmigrant visa program by discontinuing several key exceptions from its annual numerical limitation. It proposes to eliminate the current cap exemption for H-1B workers employed by universities , non-profit research organizations , and governmental research organizations , making them subject to the annual visa cap. Additionally, the legislation introduces new provisions requiring H-1B visa holders to be recounted against the numerical limitation under specific circumstances. These include when an H-1B nonimmigrant changes employers or when they surpass three years in H-1B status, thereby increasing the number of individuals subject to the annual cap.
