The U.S. Senate has reintroduced a bill aiming to strengthen regulations governing the H-1B and L-1 worker visa programs. This legislation focuses on addressing perceived imbalances and potential misuse within these visa systems. The bill proposes enhanced scrutiny of employer practices and potential modifications to eligibility criteria. It would require employers to demonstrate a genuine need for these visas and implement stricter oversight measures. Analysts suggest this action could prompt a reassessment of sourcing strategies, with a potential shift of work towards India and other countries currently serving as key outsourcing destinations.
