US proposes rule change that could affect thousands of H-1B visa extensions

A proposed rule by the Department of Homeland Security could change how H-1B visa extensions are processed. If enforced, it would remove the requirement for USCIS to give deference to previous approvals. This change might lead to an increase in requests for additional evidence during extension reviews. Consequently, it could create uncertainty for workers whose employment status and details remain unchanged.
