Immigration Bills

A bill to provide high-skilled nonimmigrant visas for nationals of the Republic of Korea, and for other purposes.

A bill to jump-start economic recovery through the formation and growth of new businesses, and for other purposes.

S. 2394, the American Jobs First Act of 2015, would implement major reforms of the H-1B program including adding a minimum wage provision ($110,000), and increasing the fee for employers to $10,000. More than 90% of H-1Bs issued in 2013 were for positions that paid less than $110,000 per year. The bill would also end the Visa Lottery.

S. 2225, the Save Our Small and Seasonal Businesses Act of 2015, would exempt foreign workers who have received an H-2B guest-worker visa in any of the past three years from the current year's annual limits. This would potentially quadruple the number of H-2B visas issued each year from 65,000 to 260,000.
