Disapproving of the rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security relating to "Modernizing H-1B Requirements, Providing Flexibility in the F-1 Program, and Program Improvements Affecting Other Nonimmigrant Workers".

This joint resolution would cancel a rule from the Department of Homeland Security that was published on December 18, 2024. The rule changed requirements for H-1B visas, which are for workers in specialty jobs, and F-1 visas, which are for students. The rule added new criteria for what counts as a specialty occupation, allowed F-1 students who applied for H-1B visas to work longer, and required companies seeking H-1B workers to have real job offers and be legally operating in the United States.
