U.S. Senators Chuck Grassley and Dick Durbin have jointly introduced the “H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act,” aiming to tighten foreign worker visa rules by prioritising candidates with STEM credentials and raising penalties for wage-violations. The proposal would also restrict abuses in L-1 intracompany transfers by enforcing stricter wage and displacement safeguards. Advocates say it could raise compliance costs and make visa issuance harder. The move signals heightened scrutiny of skilled immigration, but its passage remains uncertain. (PC: MSN)
