The Trump administration plans a major overhaul of the H-1B visa programme, targeting cap exemptions, third-party placements, and the visa lottery system. A proposal due in December 2025 will tighten compliance and prioritise higher-wage applicants. Indian professionals, who form the majority of H-1B recipients, are likely to be most affected. The changes aim to formalise previous policies that faced legal challenges, with the beneficiary-centric lottery system and selection order remaining unchanged.
