The comprehensive immigration reform that the Joe Biden administration plans to work on, either in one go or in separate pieces, on high-skilled visas, including the H-1B, and eliminate the limit on employment-based visas by country.
The Joe Biden administration plans to create a new visa category to allow cities and counties to petition for higher levels of immigrants to support their growth. The Biden government will support expanding the number of high-skilled visas and eliminating the limits on employment-based visas by country, which create unacceptably long backlogs.
Biden will work with Congress to increase the number of visas awarded for permanent, employment-based immigration — and promote mechanisms to temporarily reduce the number of visas during times of high US unemployment.
