End H–1B Visa Abuse Act of 2026
A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for a pause on the issuance of H-1B visas until certain limitations on the issuance thereof are implemented.
This bill aims to temporarily stop the issuance of H-1B visas, which are work visas for foreign professionals, until certain restrictions are put in place. H-1B visas are typically used by U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in specialty occupations.
The bill would affect foreign workers seeking employment in the U.S. through H-1B visas, as well as the U.S. companies that sponsor these workers. If passed, it would halt new H-1B visas until specific limitations are implemented, potentially impacting businesses that rely on these visas to hire skilled foreign workers.
Currently, the bill has just been introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary for further review. As of July 23, 2026, it has been read twice and referred, and no further actions have been taken yet.
