Biden administration removes Trump-era H-1B rule vacated by court

Hindustan Times  

The Biden administration on Tuesday announced that it has removed a Trump-era rule that had sought to narrow the definition of “speciality” for qualifying for H-1B non-immigration short-term work visas in the country - doing away with one more of former president Donald Trump’s restrictive changes to the visa programme. The Trump administration had issued an order last October seeking to “narrow” the definition of speciality occupation to ensure US companies could use the visa programme to make “real offers” to “real employees” and not to hire foreigners as “low-cost replacement” for qualified Americans. “This is one of Trump’s three big midnight regulations to remake the H-1B system,” Doug Rand, an immigration official from the Obama administration, had tweeted back in October. US President Joe Biden has ended the ban on the entry of H-1B visa holders ordered by Trump ostensibly to protect American jobs for Americans in the wake of unprecedented layoffs caused by the Covid-19 pandemic; and has withdrawn an order denying work authorisation to spouses of H-1B visa-holders cleared for green cards.
