Trump's Return Raises Concerns Over H-1B Visa Restrictions

Experts fear a repeat of past policies could exacerbate tech worker shortages and impact high-skilled immigration.

Donald Trump's previous administration saw significant increases in H-1B visa denials, raising concerns that similar policies may return.
The tech industry is particularly worried about potential restrictions, as many companies rely on H-1B visas to fill critical roles in AI and other advanced fields.
Elon Musk and other tech leaders who support Trump may influence a more favorable approach to high-skilled immigration, though this remains uncertain.
The Biden administration's proposed rule to modernize H-1B requirements may be altered or replaced if not finalized before Trump takes office.
Legal challenges and court rulings could limit Trump's ability to impose restrictive immigration measures, as seen during his first term.
