US Citizenship and Immigration Services announced changes that make it tougher to get H-1B visas — used to bring in highly skilled temporary foreign workers — who will fill jobs at third-party worksites. Quartz India reports the new guidance will make it difficult especially for Indian workers and IT companies. “The USCIS is broadly telling its officers that they must look at certain elements of an H-1B petition, which earlier was enforced at their discretion,” Poorvi Chothani, managing partner at immigration law firm LawQuest, told Quartz. “USCIS’s scrutiny of H-1B petitions has been stringent in recent times and it is going to be more stringent now.”
