Bill aims to end H-1B route to Green Cards & cut OPT: What the new act proposes

U.S. Representative Chip Roy has introduced the “American White-Collar Worker Jobs Act of 2026” to reform the H-1B visa program. The bill aims to end H-1B visas as a path to permanent residency and eliminate the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. It seeks to prioritize American STEM professionals by enforcing stricter wage standards and preventing displacement of U.S. workers.
