Ends the H-1B visa program for foreign workers and U.S. employers starting in 2027.
This bill would end the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. employers to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialized jobs. Starting in the government's budget year 2027, no new H-1B visas would be issued. This means foreign workers could no longer get these visas, and companies could no longer hire through this program.
Today, the H-1B program allows a certain number of foreign workers to get visas to work in specialized U.S. jobs each year, with a cap in place through the government's budget year 2026. If this bill passes, the number of H-1B visas would be set to zero starting in the government's budget year 2027, effectively ending the program.
