The purpose of this legislation, known as the Visa Cap Enforcement Act, is to tighten the rules surrounding the H-1B nonimmigrant visa program. This program allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations. The main objectives of the Act are to ensure that the numerical limits on H-1B visas are strictly enforced and to eliminate certain exceptions that previously allowed some foreign workers to bypass these limits. Key provisions of the Act include several important changes to existing immigration law.
