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".
HJRES 22 is a congressional resolution disapproving a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rule that aimed to modernize H-1B visa requirements and adjust F-1 student visa programs. This resolution, if passed, would nullify the DHS rule (published in the Federal Register as 89 Fed. Reg. 103054), preventing it from taking effect. The rule would have directly affected H-1B workers, employers seeking these visas, and international students in F-1 programs by changing eligibility rules and program flexibility. As a disapproval resolution, it does not create new policy but formally rejects the existing DHS rule.
