Enhancing Program Integrity and Interagency Coordination in the Administration of the H-1B Nonimmigrant Visa Program

This executive order directs the Secretaries of State, Labor, and Homeland Security to tighten coordination and scrutiny of the H-1B visa program, requiring consideration of employer layoffs when reviewing applications and mandating a 30-day review of past labor condition applications for enforcement action. It frames widespread H-1B abuse as harming American workers and national security, and delegates presidential authority under the INA to multiple cabinet secretaries to implement stricter rules and operational guidance.
