Omnibus Spending Bill's Immigration Provisions

The omnibus spending bill that President Obama is expected to sign contains provisions that will affect many immigrants and non-immigrants. The provisions “impose stricter security requirements on Visa Waiver Program (VWP) travelers; require ‘e-Passports’ of all VWP travelers; reauthorize the EB-5 Regional Center and E-Verify programs through September 30, 2016; and raise the filing fees for . . .  H-1B and L-1 visa petitions” filed by “companies that have at least 50 employees with 50% of them holding H-1B or L-1 status.” - Justin Rhodes
