Proposed H-1B rule: Each individual to be entered once to curb gaming of lottery system
Saturday, 21 October 2023 The US Department of Homeland Security and the US Citizenship and Immigration Services have released proposed rules to modernize the H-1B program. One significant proposal aims to curb the misuse of the H-1B cap lottery system by limiting the number of registrations that can be submitted on behalf of an individual. The current process allows for multiple registrations, increasing the chances of selection. The proposed rules also seek to redefine the definition of a specialty occupation and give beneficiaries more autonomy in choosing their employer if selected. The rules will undergo a 60-day public comment period before being finalized and implemented.
A failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally exposed critical Secret Service failures. The bullet grazed Trump's ear, killing one and wounding two before the gunman was neutralized. Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas acknowledged the lapse, calling for an independent review. The incident raised serious questions about security protocols, especially as the shooter accessed a police staging area. This event has sparked congressional demands for investigation.
