For the first time since the 60s, there has been a huge proposed change to the American immigration system. DHS has proposed sweeping reforms to the H-1B visa system.

Armed with his infectious energy and humor, Steven sheds more light on clamping down on multiple H-1B entries, options for H-1B entrepreneurs, remote job offers,  cap gap extensions ,more FDNS site visits and a stricter definition of specialty occupations.
