Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
The End H‑1B Visa Abuse Act would stop issuing new H‑1B work visas for three years, then limit the yearly cap to 25,000, cut the maximum stay to three years, and charge employers a $100,000 fee for each petition. It also raises the required wage to $200,000, ends the lottery by giving visas to the highest‑paid jobs, bans workers from having multiple employers or using staffing agencies, and bars the federal government from hiring or sponsoring H‑1B workers. The measures are intended to curb what supporters see as abuses of the program.
