U.S. House Adopts Budget Bill without H-1B and EB Visa Provisions

According to American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), in the early morning of December 19, the U.S. House adopted a conference report on the budget reconciliation bill (S. 1932) that did not include the Senate Judiciary Committee provisions that would have recaptured unused H-1B and employment-based visa numbers. However, The House was forced to strip its proposal to impose a $1,500 fee increase on L visas from the final bill.

The Senate is scheduled to take up the conference report today. We will keep you updated on the budget reconciliation bill's progress in the Senate.
