EAGLE Act of 2023

The EAGLE Act of 2023 would reform U.S. immigration policy by modifying per-country visa limits and strengthening oversight of H-1B visa programs. It would cap the number of family-sponsored and employment-based immigrant visas for any single country at 15% (or 2% for dependent areas) of total available visas. The bill requires H-1B employers to publicly post job openings for 30 days before filing petitions, prohibits advertising positions as exclusively for H-1B workers, and limits H-1B workers to 50% of a company's workforce for employers with 50+ employees. It also creates new requirements for adjustment of status applications for employment-based immigrants, including verification of job conditions. The bill's provisions would primarily affect employers seeking H-1B visas and immigrants applying for employment-based green cards.
