Breaking News—USCIS has announced that, from now on, an alien (or foreigner) who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a green card for permanent residency must return to their home country to apply for it, except in "extraordinary circumstances." USCIS went on to say that nonimmigrants—like students, temporary workers, or people on tourist visas—come to the U.S. for a short time and for a specific purpose. And our system is designed for them to LEAVE when their visit is over. Their visit should not function as the first step in the green card process. USCIS further noted that requiring aliens to apply for adjustment of status from their home country "reduces the need to find and remove those who decide to slip into the shadows and remain in the U.S. illegally after being denied residency." My take on this? The Trump administration is trying to mitigate the disastrous effects of Democrat open-border policies that deliberately facilitated massive abuse of our immigration system and flooded the United States with millions of illegal aliens. But what about "dual intent" visas like the L-1 or H-1B, where it's OK if you intend to apply for a green card later? Are those affected by this new policy? Well, in its new memo, USCIS clearly states that maintaining lawful status in a dual-intent category " is not sufficient, on its own, to warrant a favorable exercise of discretion." That's a big change, in my view. Of course, it remains to be seen how this new "extraordinary circumstances" rule will be interpreted and administered in different types of adjustment of status cases, and there will be litigation about this, but in light of how many millions of illegal aliens we have living in the shadows already, I think it's a wise move.

Should President Trump terminate the H-1B visa program? As an immigration attorney who advocates for an America-First approach—yes, I know how rare that is—I think Trump should do it for three reasons: 1. Displacement of American Workers The H1B program allows companies to lay off American workers and replace them with foreign workers who are often paid less, prioritizing cost savings over U.S. job security. This undermines the claim that H-1B visas are used only when qualified American workers are unavailable. For example, Microsoft—which is making record profits these days—recently laid off over 15,000 American workers, including software engineers and IT staff, while simultaneously filing over 14,000 H1B visa petitions. Reports indicate that many of these visas were for roles in the same locations and job categories as the laid-off workers, suggesting direct replacement. 2. Wage Suppression and Exploitation The H1B visa program enables companies to hire foreign workers at lower wages, suppressing salaries for American workers and exploiting H-1B workers who are tied to their employer-sponsored visas. This creates a race-to-the-bottom effect on wages in tech and other industries. H-1B workers also face exploitation because they risk deportation if terminated, with only a 60-day grace period to find a new sponsor. 3. Abuse by Outsourcing Firms Outsourcing firms, particularly Indian IT companies, exploit the H1B program by securing a disproportionate share of visas to supply low-cost labor, often for non-specialized roles. These firms engage in practices like filing visas for nonexistent jobs or “benching” workers, undermining the program’s purpose of addressing genuine skill shortages. I'm Joseph Bovino, U.S. immigration and business attorney based in Miami and serving clients worldwide. Let me know if you agree that it's time to terminate, phase out, or replace the H1B visa program.
