Monday, January 31, 2000 - New H-1B Bill Proposed
Senators Hatch and Abraham have just introduced the proposed bill to raise the annual H-1B cap (American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000) to 195,000. In addition, the bill would eliminate quotas by country in EB categories, would allow certain H-1B visa holders to extend their six year limits and would permit, under legitimate circumstances, H-1B applicants to change employers as soon as applications are submitted, as opposed to waiting for approval.
