Enhancing Program Integrity and Integrity and Interagency Coordination in the Administration of the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Program

The order directs federal agencies to strengthen oversight and coordination in administering the H-1B visa program, including addressing alleged misuse by employers, placement groups, and outsourcing firms. It cites estimated wage gaps of $9,000 to $20,000, layoffs of 800,000 to 1.3 million American technology workers from 2022 through 2026, and more than 25,000 fiscal year 2026 cap registrations by six outsourcing companies.
