Three US senators have introduced significant legislation to reform H-1B and L-1 visa programs, targeting alleged loopholes exploited by employers. The bipartisan efforts aim to raise wage standards, mandate public job postings, and implement a wage-based selection process replacing the lottery system. With Indians comprising 71% of H-1B recipients, these changes could profoundly impact Indian IT companies and professionals while reshaping skilled immigration to the United States.
