Disapproval of H-1B and F-1 Visa Program Modernization

The U.S. Congress has rejected proposed changes to the H-1B work visa and F-1 student visa rules. This means that earlier plans to modernize these programs, which could have affected employment and study conditions for many individuals, will not take effect. For citizens and those planning to work or study in the USA, the current rules remain unchanged.
Key points
Congress blocked new rules concerning H-1B (for workers) and F-1 (for students) visas.
Any planned changes to these visa programs will not be implemented, meaning current regulations remain in place.
