If it feels like H-1B rules have changed more in the last two years than the previous two decades, that's not just a feeling.
New fees, a redesigned lottery, a $100K payment tied up in litigation, a wage overhaul still on the table, and bills in Congress that could pause the program entirely. Some of this is law right now. Some of it isn't law at all yet. And mixing those two up can mean panicking over a rule that isn't in effect, or missing a deadline for one that already is.
We built a free H-1B Regulatory & Legislative Tracker to sort out what's currently in effect, what's final but upcoming, what's just proposed, and what's blocked in court or stalled in Congress. All in one place, in plain language.
