The proposed draft rules aiming to increase H-1B wages and introduce
changes to various visa applications have been postponed to the next year.
The U.S. government’s spring regulatory agenda, released recently,
announced the deferral of these draft rules. The changes were expected to
impact H-1B visa holders and employers sponsoring such visas. The revised
rules were anticipated to include an increase in minimum wage requirements
for H-1B workers, as well as modifications to the H-4 EAD (Employment
Authorization Document) program. However, with the deferral, the current
rules and regulations will remain in effect for now. The U.S. government is
expected to provide further updates in due course.
