Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers

Effective September 21, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation restricting the entry of H-1Bworkers for a period of twelve months; until September 21, 2026.

The entry of aliens as nonimmigrant workers applying for H-1B visas is restricted, except for those aliens whose petitions are accompanied or supplemented by a payment of $100,000.00. This restriction applies to all H-1B visa applicants who are currently outside of the United States, but does not apply to any individual alien, all aliens working for a company, or all aliens working in an industry, if the Secretary of Homeland Security determines, in their discretion, that the hiring of such aliens to be employed as H-1B specialty occupation workers is in the national interest and does not pose a threat to the security or welfare of the United States.
