>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a final rule that will significantly enhance U.S. companies’ ability to fill job vacancies in critical fields, strengthening our economy. The new rule modernizes the H-1B program by streamlining the approvals process, increasing its flexibility to better allow employers to retain talented workers, and improving the integrity and oversight of the program. The rule builds on previous efforts by the Administration to ensure the labor needs of American businesses are met, while reducing undue burdens on employers and adhering to all U.S. worker protections under the law.
